Our costed repair solutions for non-traditional properties provide councils, housing associations and landlords with a clear, structured understanding of repair requirements and associated costs for housing stock constructed using pre-1970 and system-built methods. This includes PRC and non-PRC properties such as Airey, Wimpey No-Fines, Cornish, Tarran, BISF and other non-traditional housing types.
By combining specialist structural assessment with realistic cost modelling, we help landlords plan safe, compliant and financially sustainable repair programmes.
Why Costed Repair Solutions Are Essential
Non-traditional properties often require bespoke repair approaches due to inherent design limitations, ageing materials and historic construction methods. Without accurate cost information, repair decisions can carry significant financial, compliance and delivery risk.
Our costed repair solutions enable landlords to:
- Understand the true cost of repairing and retaining non-traditional homes
- Compare repair costs against refurbishment, redevelopment or disposal options
- Plan capital investment and long-term maintenance with confidence
- Support options appraisals, business planning and funding applications
- Demonstrate value for money and defensible investment decisions
What Our Costed Repair Solutions Include
Our service provides a fully integrated technical and financial assessment, tailored to non-traditional construction:
Condition and Defect Review
We use structural surveys, defect investigations and construction-specific knowledge to define the scope of necessary repairs accurately.
Repair Strategy Development
Repair solutions are developed to address root causes, not just visible symptoms. This may include PRC or NTHAS-approved repair approaches where appropriate.
Cost Modelling and Estimation
We prepare realistic cost estimates for each repair option, considering access requirements, disruption, compliance works and long-term durability.
Lifecycle and Risk Considerations
Costs are assessed alongside future maintenance liabilities, remaining service life and delivery risk, supporting informed investment decisions.
Supporting Strategic Asset Management
Costed repair solutions play a key role in strategic asset management of non-traditional housing, supporting:
- Options appraisals and retention decisions
- Assured life and mortgageable repair strategies
- Capital programme development and prioritisation
- Long-term business planning and HRA modelling
- Board, cabinet and regulatory reporting
Our approach ensures repair costs are transparent, evidence-based and aligned with strategic objectives.
