TNO: partner in buildings and construction
How TNO accelerates innovation in the buildings and construction sector
There are great challenges and opportunities in the field of construction. Through knowledge development and consultancy, TNO helps construction companies, suppliers and architects turn those ideas into concrete building innovations.
Want to collaborate with TNO?
Bio-based building materials
The market for bio-based building is in full swing. Bio-based building materials, such as wood, are being used more and more often in place of traditional steel or concrete. We are working on knowledge development and innovations to exploit the full potential of biobased building.
Industrial construction
The construction industry needs to build more affordable and sustainable housing, and fast – but traditional construction methods alone won’t cut it. Thanks to TNO’s expertise in industrialisation and digitalisation, the latest technologies can be put to best use, enabling the construction industry to build more affordable and more sustainable homes faster.

'Without TNO, these kinds of new biobased materials like C-CLT wouldn't be developed because the market is quite conservative. They're desperately needed to meet housing and climate goals, but at the same time, there's no market yet. With these kinds of collaborations, we can still respond to that future demand.'
