The Structural Timber Association (STA) is the largest UK trade association within the structural timber sector and there are many reasons construction professionals and selfbuilders should choose one of its members.
Raising the bar for sustainability, quality, health and safety, skills training, and technical knowledge across the structural timber sector, the STA was established to drive awareness of the value and benefits structural timber can bring to the construction industry, all underpinned by STA Assure – our unique Quality Assurance Scheme.
STA Assure is designed to benefit both members and their clients by promoting the differing accreditations and quality standards held by individual STA member companies. This scheme offers reassurances to the construction community that its members meet or even exceed current legislation and regulatory requirements. Importantly STA Assure is formally recognised by industry-leading structural warranty and Building Control bodies.
