Off-site timber frame specialist TALO has been awarded a £1.1m contract by Lucy Developments for a nine-home residential scheme near Tring in Hertfordshire.
The scheme is in the canalside village of Wilstone and is a new collaboration with Lucy Developments.
Moorings is the first project in a new long-term collaboration between the two companies, with further, larger residential sites already in the planning pipeline.
TALO has been selected by Lucy Developments to facilitate the construction of ultra-low energy homes at scale, achieving shorter programmes, high quality, and greater cost certainty.
“The ability to deliver homes of this quality with much lower energy consumption in less time, is a significant advantage, both commercially and to achieve more sustainable development and construction,” said Greg Hilton, Head of Lucy Developments.
“This is the first step in a wider partnership with TALO, and we are now progressing plans for larger sites using their housebuilding solutions.”
The advanced timber superstructure solutions from TALO are manufactured offsite in Finland using slow-grown Nordic timber protected through a fully dry fabrication and installation process.
“This new partnership has been created to scale ultra-low energy housebuilding,” said Dr Anthony Greer, Executive Director for Corporate Strategy at TALO.
“Lucy Developments has a strong ethos around sustainability, quality and the long-term performance of the homes they build. This alignment makes our collaboration a fantastic fit.”
