Housing
Getting maximum value from change in Housing.
Digital Transformation in housing doesn’t mean 5G networks, smart homes, automation, robotics & drones and Digital Twin Computing. The technology solutions needed by most housing providers is less about elaborate innovation and more about the efficient delivery of their vital services. We understand the challenges faced by housing providers when it comes to managing their housing projects and housing solutions. Continuous changes to legislation mean that compliance is a top priority, including compliance around decarbonisation and property safety in accordance with the Social Housing Regulation Act (2023).
