About us

Thakeham is a sustainable placemaker, committed to people, communities and creating amazing places to live.

With an industry-leading focus on biodiversity and the environment, it is a founder member of the Home Builders Federation (HBF) Housing and Environment taskforce and has committed that, by 2025, every home it builds will be zero carbon in operation. This, alongside its infrastructure-led approach to placemaking, means that Thakeham is widely accepted as being at the forefront of community creation in the UK.

Whether offering its expertise in strategic land promotion, the delivery of HBF 4*, high-quality private homes or partnering with Housing Associations, Councils and institutions, everything it does takes a holistic view on community and the well-being of those within it.

Thakeham is a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, having become the first home builder in the Southeast to receive a Bronze Award Armed Forces Covenant in 2020, subsequently achieving the Silver Award in 2021 and Gold in 2023.
