Retrofitting housing stock to improve energy efficiency as part of the drive to net zero is one of the biggest challenges facing social housing providers today.

Recent reports show that this could cost an estimated £330 billion, with 29 million homes requiring retrofitting to meet the 2050 net zero target.

Given the time investment and resources needed to meet the UK government decarbonisation target, achieving value is a critical aspect that procurement, category, and compliance personnel need to consider, adding pressure when choosing a solution.

When procuring, complex processes cause additional burden, as do ineffective IT systems and less than ideal prices. We understand the critical need for you to maintain decent homes with good cost-effective repair strategies to ensure no undue risk to assets arises.
