Becoming a Member
|
FTMA membership is open to all companies involved in the frame and truss industry in New Zealand.
The FTMA currently represents a group of 64 fabricators and more than 20 associated members who are leading the way forward in our prefabricated timber framing industry. We continue to work tirelessly to ensure prefabricated timber wall frames and roof trusses remain the preferred choice for building in New Zealand. We are also in regular communication with our members around legislative changes. The vast majority of our members are small operators, with anywhere from 5 to 20 staff, and are not always in a position to investigate and understand the implications of legislative changes on their businesses. Our access to Government via our membership of BIF allows us to hear about changes to regulations at their earliest stages. |
Benefits of membership
Legislative changes are often hugely complex and open to different interpretations. Regular communication with its members around these changes is one of the key roles of the FTMA. |
