System members develop and provide the software in conjunction with the nail-plate system that is used in the designing of nail plated timber roof trusses, and is supplied to the respective designers and fabricators licensed by them.

The ITC-SA under this brand – Engineer – gives recognition to Engineers with substantial experience and proven competence in timber engineering through the accolade of ITC approved Engineer. In order to ensure full compliance with all the provisions of both the Building Standards Act [Section 14(A)] and the National Building Regulations [Regulation A19], these Engineers may appoint, train and regularly re-train Inspectors to inspect erected Timber Roof Structures on their behalf. 

The ITC-SA under this brand audits licensed fabricators for the awarding of the Certificate of Competence to those companies which design, manufacture and supply pre-fabricated nail plated timber trusses to the desired standards and to ensure the continued process of re-auditing on due dates of such company’ operations and key personnel.

The ITC-SA under this brand researches and updates the bracing and connection rules for timber roof structures, creates awareness by means of conducting seminars and presentations to disseminate information and amendments to specifications and regulations to the players in the industry, as well as educates erectors where possible and for this reason has developed two volumes for the erection of timber roof structures.

ITC-SA approved Engineers appoint and train Inspectors to inspect roof structures. The Engineers accept responsibility for the design and structural stability of the roofs after inspection and approval of the roofs by the Inspectors. This process is in compliance with Regulation A19 of the National Building Regulations, which then enables the home owner to obtain an occupancy certificate from the local authority.

Any natural person, who in the opinion of the majority of the Members of the Board of Directors has demonstrated sufficient interest in the Timber Construction Industry, may be nominated for Honorary Membership, subject to election by an affirmative vote of two thirds of the Directors.

Any natural person, firm, association, partnership, close corporation or company associated with the Timber Industry shall be eligible to apply for Associate Membership.
