Bring Your Asset Data Into Focus

Our 30- Year Asset Management Plan (30AMP) empowers housing organisations to:

• Generate better insights from their data
• Make better investment decisions
• Plan investment with greater confidence

Known Problems, Hidden in Plain Sight

Housing associations and local authorities collect large volumes of stock data—but unlocking its value is far more difficult. This is often restricted by legacy systems and data silos. Despite having the information, generating insights and visualising it clearly enough to build confident, coherent and affordable investment plans can be a struggle.

Combining data from different systems into a single source can be tricky. Housing and asset management systems struggle to facilitate this because they focus on storing rather than analysing data, let alone utilising data stored elsewhere. Aligning an organisation’s key strategic risks with asset data at the investment planning stage enables organisations to make the right investment decisions at the right time.

Being unable to make sense of asset data in a single view can lead to problems remaining hidden in plain sight, condition data becoming old, and gaps in condition data resulting in unplanned spend or underinvestment. Cumulatively, this can lead to investment programmes drifting from what homes need or what tenants want.

Ensuring that homes are safe, decent, free from damp and mould, and energy efficient is a challenge. Achieving this within existing resources is a stretch. Maintaining safety, decency and improving energy efficiency is achievable. But this is only possible if you can see the investment required over time and use that information to create a prioritised, coherent plan.

30 AMP empowers organisations to generate better insights from their data, plan investment with confidence, and make better investment decisions with a 30-year asset management plan.

The tool is configured to utilise data from single or multiple data sources. It then brings data together into a single view – by property, block, scheme, area, geography, component or configurable component groups. Clients can choose from a range of dashboards that help them to visualise the data in different ways. This can improve investment planning over the short, medium and long term.

30 AMP includes some default insights which we think are fundamental to strategic asset management planning. Additional insights, related to the specific problem the client wants to solve are added.

Alongside this:

• It’s a customisable data model that can work with any dataset, avoiding expensive system development.
• It helps teams see what the data really means, not just what it shows.
• It enables smoother planning, better budgeting, and targeted survey or investment programmes.

30 AMP reflects ARK’s reputation as a trusted housing consultancy, building on over 35 years of high-quality asset management insight.

Catherine Kevis, CEO, Solihull Community Care Association

“It was detailed, comprehensive, and clearly structured, providing us with a robust overview of our housing stock across multiple locations. The level of insight and clarity in the data will be invaluable in supporting our asset management planning, investment decisions, and long-term maintenance strategies.

We especially valued how the information was presented in a practical and accessible way, enabling us to engage with and utilise the findings effectively. The consultant was happy to join my Board Meeting when I asked as they wanted direct feedback, his insights and delivery were greatly appreciated. In addition, when I asked for clarity on how to update the data the consultant was happy to provide further support. The survey outputs have already begun to inform internal discussions and planning across the organisation.”
