We are

At tallwood consulting we are forerunners of a new high-rise construction utilizing wood-engineer structures, as well as integrating within the same team the areas of architecture, engineering and industrialization.

All of us at tallwood consulting have been involved in the development of projects that have been pioneers in materializing this collaborative and interdisciplinary approximation of construction by combining high quality and cost efficiency.
