How ADMD Members Are Evaluated

At first glance, construction companies may offer very similar services: modern wood-frame buildings, quick construction, and low operating costs. However, true quality is often determined by details that investors typically don’t see. Read the article on Estav.cz to learn how to identify a reliable contractor and why the National Quality Certificate can be an important guide.

DNK certification is not just a formal designation. Companies that wish to obtain and maintain it undergo regular inspections. Current certification holders are members of the Association of Prefabricated House Suppliers and have successfully passed an audit in the past year. They meet the established requirements and can demonstrate compliance with a valid National Quality Certificate.

Only construction companies that are members of ADMD can obtain this certification, based on an annual inspection conducted by the certification body. This body is the Wood Research and Development Institute in Prague.

“As part of DNK certification, inspections systematically verify so-called critical points in the design, production, and assembly processes of timber structures, which have a fundamental impact on the final quality of workmanship and the smooth progress of the entire project,” said Ing. Petr Nováček, Dis., a timber structure auditor at the Timber Research and Development Institute in Prague.

Invitation to Brno: Wooden Buildings in the Public Sector

The seminar “Wooden Buildings in Public Spaces” will show you how to build in a modern, cost-effective, and sustainable way

Are you planning a new construction or renovation project in your municipality—such as a school, preschool, sports hall, senior living facility, apartment building, or fire station? Come to the seminar “Wooden Buildings in the Public Sector,” which will take place on June 11, 2026, in Brno. The event is organized by ADMD.

A representative from the Timber Research and Development Institute, Prague, s. p., will also speak at the seminar, presenting a lecture titled “Certification of High-Quality Construction Companies.”

Certification is an important tool for wood-frame construction that helps investors make more informed decisions when selecting a contractor. It confirms that the company operates according to proven procedures, meets quality standards for construction, and has an established quality control system in place. This is particularly important for public construction projects, as the investor is responsible not only for the cost and schedule but also for the safety, durability, and long-term functionality of the building.

The event is primarily intended for representatives of cities and municipalities, investors, designers, and other professionals seeking practical information on the possibilities of modern timber construction.

The seminar will offer inspiration from real-world projects, insights from the planning and operation of public buildings, and answers to questions about how to build innovatively, cost-effectively, and with a focus on long-term sustainability.
