Direct route to timber frame information

New UKTFA membership provides architects and specifiers with direct route to timber frame infomation.

Architects, specifiers and quantity surveyors can now benefit from a low cost service from the UK Timber Frame Association (UKTFA), which includes access to the UKTFA's technical helpline, training information and advance knowledge of timber frame industry developments.

A new Associate membership category allows the UKTFA to reach and engage with wider parts of the building and development community.

Associate membership will also include benefits such as invitations to key meetings, discounts on the UKTFA's extensive list of technical and marketing literature, and access to relevant training materials.

It costs just GBP120 per year.

Improved membership categories are being introduced by Bob Davis, the UKTFA's newly appointed Membership Manager.

Bob will look after all aspects of the association's membership and communications with more than 250 member companies across the timber frame industry and related sectors.

As part of his work to improve communications with all members, Bob will co-ordinate and run membership meetings, and will ensure that the UKTFA has a presence at key exhibitions and events.

He will also be responsible for the UKTFA's quality assurance schemes, Q-Mark, Q-Mark Plus and Q-Mark for Suppliers.

Bryan Woodley, Chief Executive of the UKTFA, said: "If we want to ensure that timber frame remains the number one choice among eco conscious designers, architects and specifiers then we need to open up our channels of communications to a wider community.

"By creating a new membership structure, we can ensure that our Associates can keep abreast of the latest developments as well as having access to our technical and training experts." For further information on timber frame and the work of the UKTFA go to the website.
