The Structural Timber Association is setting up a series of visits to member factories to help educate the construction industry about the potential of timber frame.

Members of the Structural Timber Association will be hosting a series of Factory Tours nationwide throughout 2017. These leading companies will be opening the doors to their impressive manufacturing facilities to demonstrate the process of timber frame production and construction from design and storage through to the several mechanical cutting, nailing and finishing procedures to the finished product and delivery to finished goods.
