Local authorities
Independent evidence for the estate you answer for.
Council housing, schools and the corporate estate all carry duties, deadlines and public scrutiny. Ovrsite gives local authorities independent, defensible condition evidence across the whole estate, from stock condition to Awaab's Law.
01The problem
Many duties, one question: what condition is the stock in?
A local authority holds a large, mixed estate under intense scrutiny. Decent Homes, Awaab's Law, the schools estate and the corporate portfolio each ask the same underlying question, and the honest answer is often out-of-date survey data that will not survive a challenge.
When a resident, an auditor or a cabinet member asks what you knew and when, a stack of inconsistent, ageing reports is a weak position. A current, comparable, independent record is a strong one.
02Plain answers
The duties behind the condition data.
How does this support the Decent Homes Standard?
Decent Homes turns on the condition of key building components, and the roof and envelope are among the most consequential. Full-coverage, graded condition evidence gives you a defensible view of where stock falls short and what it will cost to put right.
Where does Awaab's Law fit?
As a social landlord, a council must investigate reported damp and mould hazards within strict timescales. Thermal and visual capture can surface the envelope defects behind damp, and Atlas keeps the dated, located evidence of what was found and when.
03How Ovrsite helps
One record across housing, schools and the corporate estate.
Inspect the estate on a cycle and Atlas holds one consistent, comparable record across every building type. Stock condition, Awaab's Law evidence and the capital programme all draw on the same graded, located, dated findings, so the authority answers to every duty from a single defensible source of truth.
- Independent stock condition evidence for council housing
- Roof and envelope condition for schools and the corporate estate
- Costed, prioritised backlog for the capital programme
- Dated, located evidence to support Awaab's Law responses
- One consistent record across a large, mixed estate
Local authority estates, answered
Yes. Multi-site capture is planned as a programme, with consistent grading across every block, so a large housing estate reads as one comparable stock condition record rather than a stack of separate surveys.
It can help. Thermal and visual capture surfaces the envelope defects, moisture ingress paths and heat loss that often sit behind reported damp and mould, and every finding is dated and located in Atlas so the record of what was found and when is defensible.
Yes. The same capture works across housing, schools, depots and the corporate estate, so a single provider gives you one consistent condition record across the whole authority.
Yes. We do not carry out the repairs we identify. That independence keeps the condition evidence defensible in front of auditors, cabinet members and residents.
