What is Structural Timber Work?

At its core, structural timber work involves creating the skeletal framework of a building using timber.

Key components typically include

  • Walls: Often built with prefabricated timber panels (open or closed panel systems).
  • Floors: Composed of timber joists (solid, I-joists, or metal web joists) with sheathing.
  • Roofs: Formed using timber trusses or rafters.
  • Beams and Posts: Larger sections of timber that carry significant loads.
