About
Growing Timber Connections hopes to inspire South Africans to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of construction.
Growing Timber Connections aims to promote Timber Construction in South Africa and abroad. The alliance was initiated through a collaboration between the South African government, academia and industry.
The Department of Trade Industry and Competition (the dtic) was instrumental in initiating the process that led to the alliance.
Growing Timber Connections emphasises growth, connection to nature, versatility, community-building, and long-term sustainability.
Join us to uncover the remarkable benefits of timber as a construction material, from its sustainability and versatility to its aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency. Together, let us shape the future of sustainable building practices in South Africa.
