Date notes CIL 14, 3009 mentions the 13th lustrum of the collegium. The earliest acceptable date for the inscription is 58 CE because otherwise the collegium (or its reorganisation) would have predated the reform of the Roman collegium fabrum tignuariorum. The latest acceptable date for this inscription is c. 140 CE (which would situate the creation of the collegium in 80 CE) but it is almost certainly older than this (see source record). If we assume c. 100/125 CE as a more likely ante quem date we obtain a creation (or reorganisation) date for this guild of c. 40/65 CE, close to the creation of the Ostian collegium fabrum tignuariorum c. 58/62 CE. A date closer to the creation/reorganisation of the guild of fabri tignuarii of Rome cannot be excluded.

Notes
One first or second century inscription, preserved  largely only in a manuscript, describes this guild as a collegium fabrum withouth specification (c̲o̲l̲l̲e̲g̲(i) f̲a̲b̲r̲(um) P̲r̲a̲e̲n̲e̲s̲t̲i̲n̲o̲r̲(um)).
 
Three groups of fabri are attested in Praeneste in the Late Republic that may be precursors of this later collegium fabrum tignuariorum:
CIL 01, 01448, c. 100-82 BCE: A group of of unspecified fabres making a dedication to Fortuna Primigenia already.
CIL 01, 03062, c. 100-82 BCE: a collegium of fabri aerarii ( [Conl(egium) f]abr(um) aeṛ[ariorum])
CIL 01, 03068, c. 100-82 BCE: a collegium of scrutarii? et fabri ferrarii
 
Of the two attested quinquennales perpetui (CIL 14, 002981; 03003), one was "given by the emperor Hadrian" (CIL 14, 03003: datus ab / Imp(eratore) Hadriano Aug(usto)
