ARK combines 35 years of high-level regulatory assurance with empirical data platforms and operational field expertise. We help social landlords protect residents, maintain compliance, and optimise capital expenditure.
Independent diagnostic reviews ensuring complete compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022, Fire Safety Act 2021, and statutory consumer standards. We audit all seven statutory compliance pillars:
Trapped data in legacy systems is the single largest barrier to sound asset management. ARK's cloud tools transform raw stock surveys into board-ready 30-year financial plans.
ASAP evaluates each property archetype across financial Net Present Value (NPV), reactive repair intensity, void turnaround time, Decent Homes status, and EPC rating. It visually maps underperforming assets, allowing executive teams to simulate options appraisals (retrofit, retention, remodelling, or disposal).
Traditional spreadsheets fail to account for lifecycle compounding. 30 AMP extracts condition data and maintenance costs to smooth multi-year expenditure peaks. This gives treasury directors and lending institutions verified capital forecasting without funding spikes.
Established in 2019, ARK’s Development Benchmarking Club pools anonymised build costs, land values, and sales assumptions across 20+ housing associations and councils.
In the first 99 consumer inspection grades, three-quarters of non-compliant judgements stemmed from deficient stock condition data. ARK delivers full HHSRS surveys, Awaab's Law checks, and EPC assessments.
Qualified Retrofit Assessors and Coordinators guiding landlords through complex grant-funded fabric-first projects, insulation upgrades, and heat pump installations.
With the Regulator of Social Housing actively conducting proactive consumer inspections, landlords cannot afford inspection surprises. ARK’s diagnostic health-checks scrutinise board oversight across seven pillars:
Supporting English local authorities in fulfilling their mandatory statutory duty under the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023 to publish a Local Supported Housing Strategy by 31 March 2027.
5-year forward supply and demand mapping of supported exempt accommodation, supported living schemes, and sheltered housing.
Formalising commissioning pathways with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), Adult Social Care, Probation, and third-sector providers.
Evidence-based TA reduction roadmaps, Rough Sleeping Initiative (RSI) funding bids, and private rented sector access models.
ARK matches senior housing professionals to critical leadership departures, regulatory turnarounds, and contract reviews.
