Welcome to TALO
We are passionate about transforming housebuilding to deliver zero energy homes for the people who need it most.
Why TALO?
Our aim is to improve the quality of UK housebuilding by taking advanced offsite timber-framed construction technology from Finland to create
vastly superior homes for sale, rent, social and affordable housing.
01/ Delivering Zero Carbon Homes
TALO’s revolutionary timber superstructures have been used by housebuilders in Finland and Norway to build around 30,000 homes over the last four decades, creating warm, comfortable and low energy homes that are designed for extreme temperatures as low as -50°.
By bringing this advanced and proven offsite manufacturing technology to the UK, housebuilders and housing providers have the opportunity to offer carbon neutral homes that are genuinely sustainable and benefit from zero energy costs.
02/ Eradicating fuel poverty
It is estimated that up to 7.5m households in the UK are living in fuel poverty. And with so much uncertainty around the world, the pressure on energy costs is likely to continue.
The risk of severe ill health in childhood and early adulthood increases by 25 per cent if you live in poor quality housing.
With our innovative yet proven housing solutions, we can now give social and affordable housing providers the opportunity to completely eradicate fuel poverty and the quality of housing by providing zero carbon homes where families will never have to pay an energy bill again.

03/ Superior Quality and Design Flexibility
Our approach is simple.
We build houses of vastly superior quality and want to drive change to raise standards across UK housebuilding and social housing provision.
Our timber superstructures are estimated to exceed Passivehouse energy standards by at least 25 per cent – for no cost premium.
We offer complete flexibility in design and have the capabilities to build terraced houses, apartments up to three storeys as well as semi-detached and detached houses to reflect your design aspirations and standards. Without compromise.
04/ Revolutionising UK Housebuilding
Using knowledge and insight gained in global industries - from superyacht manufacturing to oil rig construction in the North Sea - we have examined every aspect of house construction to develop an infinitely more efficient range of solutions.
This means vastly superior outcomes:
- The build programme from groundworks to occupation is reduced to less than 8 weeks per unit – for earlier occupation. This reduces housing waiting lists and delivers a faster return on investment for developers.
- There is ZERO snagging. Not just at handover but a year on.
- Our foundation systems reduce the cost and environmental impact of waste to landfill.
- Homes require less maintenance – an important benefit for retained assets, whether social housing or build-to-rent homes.
- Warranties are in place for complete peace of mind.
- Finland has more stringent fire regulations than the UK – so we exceed UK fire regulations by at least 100 per cent.
