Social housing

Delivery and commercial talent for registered providers, local authorities and the contractors building and maintaining social homes.

Homes people depend on

New-build affordable housing, planned works, retrofit and compliance, across the UK.

Social housing has pressures the private sector doesn't: grant funding, resident liaison, building safety and a growing retrofit and compliance workload. We place the project, commercial, surveying, compliance and building services professionals who deliver those programmes for registered providers, councils and their contractors, with real strength in the M&E and compliance side that sits at the heart of building safety.
