The Timber in Construction Roadmap is a Government programme, launched in December 2023. Developed across industry and in partnership with Defra, the Roadmap seeks to guide the construction industry through the opportunities of building in timber, while identifying constraints.
A working group, will monitor and track progress in delivery of actions, seeking to evaluate and progress and scope new tasks as required. The Structural Timber Association worked with Defra and other industry partners to advise and develop this Roadmap. There are 7 priority themes, each with actions for both Government and industry.
With real benefits for your business, your clients and the environment, support in achieving Future Homes Standards and meeting new building regulations, it’s time to do more than understand why structural timber is the better choice. This will show you HOW.
With an increasing number of house builders and contractors choosing to build in structural timber, we’ve set out the steps and processes to make it easier for you and your team to get started. This is the way.
If you’d like to know more about self build using structural timber, or you would like specific information about one of our self build manufacturers, please get in touch. We’re happy to help.
