Institute for Timber Construction South Africa (ITC-SA)

General information

The ITC-SA was established more than 40 years ago to regulate the engineered timber roof structure industry, and to provide design, manufacturing, erection, inspection and certification for compliance with inter alia SANS 10400 and SANS 10082 where engineering rational designs are applicable.

The ITC-SA is a South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) accredited professional body with a professional membership, and therefore has to 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 Recognised Voluntary Association in terms of the Engineering Profession Act, 2000 (Act 46 of 2000).

During 2014, the Institute of Timber Frame Builders (ITFB) was incorporated into the ITC-SA to ensure a better and more uniform representation of the timber engineered practitioners in the built environment.

The ITC-SA has an established infrastructure to serve South Africa nationally. The Head Office of the organization is situated in Isando Gauteng, and Branch Structures have been established in the following Regions:

South and Eastern Cape
Western Cape
KZN
Gauteng (includes Polokwane/Mpumalanga/North West)
OFS and Northern Cape

The people in the employ of the ITC-SA come with vast experience and qualifications in the built environment. The skills of these people ultimately create the reputational environment that drives the objectives of the ITC-SA, and which causes people to request the services of this organization when services and service related problems arise.
