Asset Management

Building a detailed picture to shape strategic management solutions.

Turning data into something useful

Strategic management of your assets is crucial to maximise the quality and value of your stock.

Informed by stock condition surveys, carried out in accordance with a pre-agreed list of criteria, our team build a detailed picture around expenditure concerns, looking at areas such as:

  • Refurbishment priorities
  • Maintenance and repairs
  • Energy efficiencies
  • Stock potential

This data is used to develop a strategic asset management plan to ensure key legislations and regulations are met, such as Decent Homes Standard (DHS) and the Building Safety Act 2022, whilst improving tenant living standards to maximise stock value.

Stock rationalisation will identify best and worst performing properties which forms a key part of this process, highlighting those high-cost properties which are better sold for commercial use, freeing up finance for investment into improved social housing solutions.

Let us do the difficult bit

Once an asset management plan is agreed and prioritised, with the support of our SOR team, we can build a comprehensive schedule of works for clients including the management of:

Strategies

Works Programming

Stock Appraisal

A clearly defined, managed schedule with a robust timeframe can help deliver safer more energy efficient homes for tenants in line with the latest legislation.

Database
health checks

Overview

Many of our existing clients hold their own stock condition database, populated with data that has been collected internally, or from a variety of sources.

When dealing with the day-to-day pressures of Asset Management, it is often easy to overlook ensuring the long-term accuracy of data within your Stock Condition database.

We would normally recommend that any live database is subject to an annual review to help ensure not only the accuracy of the data, but also that the structure and use of the database reflects the clients intended policies for the future. We would look to work with you to ensure your database is fit for purpose for the next 12 months and beyond.

Audit Of Existing Housing Databases

In addition to performing/assisting clients with annual database health checks, it is sometimes necessary to assess the validity of a database that may not have been subject to a full validation for some time.

We can provide you with the knowledge and experience that will enable you to bring your database back into a live environment, and become once more a dependable tool on which your staff can rely.

Feedback from
our clients

The project was delivered successfully, on time and on budget. The delivery team were as prescribed in the pre-qualification stage, co-ordinated at director level throughout the project to a very high standard. Initial scoping meetings, arranged by Rand were extremely useful with early exchange of key information to improve accuracy of outturn reports. The Council was completely satisfied that Rand delivered to our project brief.

Chris was very impressive. His command of the subject and the pace and structure of his delivery, in what could have been a complex or dry material, was commendable. His manner of taking us through the material was adroitly presented with logic while keeping us engaged.
