COMPLETED: SPRINT #1

Automating compliance.

Making compliance easy.

Our first PropertyLab session focused on uncovering opportunities to revolutionise compliance and remediation. Our research uncovered a huge need for a coordination, collaboration and transparency across operational teams and management.

The solution.

Through this sprint, we've developed a single solution, offering ‘one source of truth’ across all areas of compliance. Starting with fire safety, it will empower operational teams to execute, automate and report on their activity through one holistic platform.

Automating void works.

Easing shortages, reducing cost.

Housing is in short supply. And we know that voids turnarounds are key to reducing cost, pressure and increasing available stock. Join a cohort to share best practices. Address bottlenecks and challenge current processes to automate the voids turnarounds.

SPRINT #4

Data-driven compliance management.

Protect your residents with improved compliance measures.

Providing safe homes to residents is a top priority for the industry, and it’s more important now than ever before to ensure transparency of information, managing assessments and servicing quality. In this sprint of PropertyLab, we will focus on improving the way we deliver and communicate compliance actions across the industry by developing technology and processes.
