Infrastructure Services: This division is dedicated to the design, construction, and maintenance of critical utilities, including hydrogen, gas, and water systems, supporting the UK's leading network operators.
Property Services: United Living enhances homes and communities through regeneration projects, safety improvements, planned and reactive maintenance, and addressing issues such as damp, mould, and empty properties.
New Homes: With expertise in residential construction, this division delivers single-family and multi-family homes, build-to-rent developments, and land-led projects to meet housing needs.
Connected: This sector provides infrastructure for both fixed-line and wireless telecommunications, encompassing project management, site acquisition, design, construction, and ongoing maintenance.
Challenge
United Living are seeking innovative solutions to measure complex real-world progress of on-site delivery against pre-determined forecasted plans.
Multiple activities are planned as part of a project which has contractual timeframes associated with it. The progress of a project is then ‘measured’ against this. Measurement of progress is done by on site staff- this can lead to inconsistent forecasting of project competition. Which can in turn lead to of risk of delay and inaccurate commercial reporting. United Living is therefore seeking a tool that can measure these complex progress on site.
