DC Timber Systems Secures Gold Status Accreditation

The JR Group's timber frame kit specialists, DC Timber Systems, has been awarded gold status accreditation – the highest rating which can be achieved – by the Structural Timber Association (STA), through its STA Assure scheme.

The STA Assure membership and quality standards program, is designed to benefit both customers and members alike, promoting the differing specialisms and demonstrating a commitment to the exceptionally top-level standards held by STA members.

The Gold standard is awarded to businesses who can ensure a consistently high quality of structural timber products and offers complete customer assurance in the construction, offsite build and timber frame build sectors.

This is the second accreditation assigned to DC Timber Systems from the STA since its creation in 2020, when they were previously awarded the silver standard, demonstrating that the business has successfully showcased its commitment towards the highest quality output possible.
