Build to rent specialist housebuilder Telford Homes has issued a call for concerted industry action to tackle embodied carbon in construction of new build homes.

The formerly listed developer, which is owned by US-based CBRE subsidiary Trammell Crow, said in its annual sustainability report that it had reduced the “embodied carbon” intensity of its homes – the amount of carbon contained in the production of the materials used to build the homes – by 10% since 2019.
