Value and competence
Building competence. Creating confidence. Delivering results.

Knowledge is the foundation of quality construction.
At Donaldson Timber Systems, we believe that the real value of training lies in what it enables confident people, competent teams and successful projects.
Through our partnership with GRASSP, we provide practical, industry-focused learning that helps customers and their teams understand every stage of timber frame delivery from design to installation.
Why training matters
The move to timber frame and offsite construction brings huge opportunities, but it also requires new skills.
Without the right understanding, projects risk inefficiencies, rework and missed performance targets.
Our Timber Frame Training Programme closes that gap. It gives teams the tools to make better decisions, plan with accuracy and deliver consistent quality on site.
Competence leads to confidence and confidence drives success.

The value our training delivers
Improved efficiency
Trained teams work more accurately and reduce waste, saving time and cost.
Fewer errors
Better understanding of sequencing and detailing reduces rework and defects.
Consistent quality
Everyone follows the same best-practice standards, ensuring reliable results.
Enhanced collaboration
Shared knowledge across design, commercial and site teams improves coordination.
Compliance and assurance
Competence supports accreditation, safety and warranty requirements.
Future-ready capability
Teams are equipped to meet changing building regulations and sustainability goals.

Competence you can measure
Our training aligns with recognised industry standards and provides structured learning outcomes.
Each module has been developed by timber frame experts with decades of practical experience in design, engineering and manufacturing. As a result, your teams gain:
-
A working knowledge of timber frame principles and performance
-
Confidence to specify, cost and deliver projects correctly
-
The ability to identify risks early and make informed decisions
-
A shared language for collaboration across your organisation
Competence is not just about learning. It’s about lasting capability that translates directly into performance on site.
Building stronger teams for the future
When your people understand timber frame, your business gains an edge.
Our training empowers teams to deliver projects that are faster, safer and more sustainable while supporting professional development and long-term retention.
The value goes beyond individual projects; it strengthens your entire organisation.
Invest in skills. Build competence. Create confident teams.
