Why work with ITC-SA members

The ITC-SA is the only SAQA recognised professional body and ECSA recognised voluntary association representing the prefabricated timber truss industry in South Africa.

Working with an ITC-SA member gives you peace of mind, knowing you are working with professionals with proven technical competence in their field, gained through academic qualification, work experience and continuous professional development.

ITC-SA members follow a strict code of conduct, underpinned by ethical work practices and accountability for the services they provide.

Why is a roof structure so important?

Your roof is your first line of defence against the environmental elements. It protects against the sun, wind and rain.

The structural framework of your roof is the key to the integrity of the building.

This  framework is an assembly of connected trusses and beams that create a rigid structure, strong enough to hold up the weight of the roof and distribute that weight evenly on the supporting walls.  It is also vitally important that the roof is securely attached to the building to prevent movement in high winds.
