About the ITFMA
The Irish Timber Frame Manufactures Association (ITFMA) is the representative organisation for the Timber Frame industry on the island of Ireland. The ITFMA was established in 1998. The association has a membership of 16 manufacturers and a number of supply chain members. The membership is made up of both publicly listed and family owned companies. In 2019 we collectively contributed to 33% of all the residential construction built in Ireland.
Our Objectives:
- The ITFMA is committed to providing a quality and exceptional service to its customers.
- To protect and develop our market.
- To encourage architect, engineers and specifiers to choose timber frame method of construction as their preferred build option.
- To offer professional advice and technical information on behalf of the industry.

How we Operate:
Each member company has one staff representative in the ITFMA and the association meets at least 4 four times yearly. Our supply chain members are invited twice a year to participate in our meetings. The membership appoints a board of directors annually including a chairman, a vice chairman and three others who oversee association sub-committees. The association currently has three active subcommittees including:
Technical Committee: This committee ensures that the ITFMA are well represented and are at the forefront of any technical aspect affecting our market. It maintains close links with the Department of Environment, NSAI, Homebond and many more of the respected bodies in the construction industry.
On-Site Committee: This group is responsible for upskilling our members both in house and onsite to develop new initiatives and improve current systems.
