The Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA) plans to launch the fourth edition of the Timber Frame Construction Manual this month.

Timber Frame Construction was created to provide solutions to construction challenges and features more than 250 drawings for additional guidance.

According to TRADA, the fourth edition reflects growth in the market for timber frame buildings, and incorporates building regulations changes.

All sections were revised to cover in detail current best practice and new regulatory requirements.

A booklet of sample pages and a pre-order form are available on the TRADA web site.
