ABOUT THE INSTITUTE FOR TIMBER
CONSTRUCTION (ITC-SA)
As a professional body, the ITC-SA’s vision is to create and
maintain the highest standards in the engineered timber
construction industry by monitoring its membership,
continuously improving standards, promoting and marketing
engineered timber structures, and overseeing the training and
development of its members.
The ITC-SA is a South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA)
accredited professional body with a professional membership
and therefore must comply with the requirements as set out in
the National Qualifications Framework Act (NQF Act 67 of 2008
– as amended). The ITC-SA is also a Category B Recognised
Voluntary Association in terms of the Engineering Profession
Act, 2000 (Act 46 of 2000).
The Institute was established 45 years ago to self-regulate the
engineered timber roof structure industry and to provide design,
manufacturing, erection, inspection and certification for
compliance with inter alia SANS 10400, SANS 10243 and SANS
10082, where engineering rational designs are applicable.
