TRADA’s staff is predominantly working remotely following official guidance from the Government, but TRADA services are still running.
Healthy buildings
We have compiled an extensive list of TRADA resources which elaborate on the role of healthy buildings in supporting the physical, psychological and social well-being of people.
Welcome to TRADA
TRADA (The Timber Research and Development Association) is an international membership organisation dedicated to inspiring and informing best practice design, specification and use of wood in the built environment and related fields.
We pride ourselves in providing independent, authoritative design and technical guidance through this website, on-line software, printed publications, e-books, and our telephone helpline. We link specifiers and purchasers with timber industry members through our Find a supplier directory.
