Wood First Plus To ensure the construction sector and our customers are supplied with information required to specify timber, the TTF is leading the Wood First Plus programme to develop and communicate timber product data. The programme will consolidate data in an open access, online hub of lifecycle assessment data, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and design data. This information is increasingly required by architects, engineers, contractors and clients in the specification of materials.
