A timber frame structure for a building, comprising elongate base members extending along lines of respective walls of the building, corner posts extending upwardly from the base members at intersections of respective walls, elongate head members extending between the corner posts at upper end parts thereof; and a plurality of wall panels extending between the head and base members to provide walls for the structure. The structure may be constructed by erecting a wall structure of a lower storey of the building, constructing a floor assembly, and assembling a roof truss assembly on top of the floor assembly, releasably connecting the roof truss assembly to the floor assembly using releasable connecting means, placing the connected floor and roof assembly on top of the wall structure of the lower storey, disconnecting the roof truss assembly from the floor assembly and removing the roof truss assembly from the floor assembly, constructing a wall structure of an upper storey on top of the floor assembly; and placing the roof truss assembly on top of the wall structure of the upper storey.
