Not to be confused with manufacturing (the actual bonding together of laminations), fabrication is the process of cutting, drilling or
otherwise modifying structural timbers for the purpose of construction. To see a list our glulam manufacturers (qualified licensees)

AITC Certification for Timber Fabricators AITC's Certified Fabricators Program was
designed to ensure conformance to the International Building Code (IBC). Section 1704.2 of the IBC
requires that special inspectors be present during the fabrication of structural load-bearing members and
assemblies, including wood fabrications (section 1704.6). Section 1704.2.2 offers an exception when a
fabricator has a fabrication program in place. Our program is designed to fulfill this requirement allowing
an AITC Certified Fabricator to avoid the costly and time consuming requirement for special inspectors. Currently,
there are no accredited wood fabrication special inspectors in the United States, making the fulfillment of this
requirement impossible without some sort of approved fabrication program.
