CHIC’s Consultancy Framework gives social landlords a compliant and efficient route to specialist professional services across the entire lifecycle of their homes and assets.
With 146 supply chain partners across 13 specialist Lots, the framework provides access to a broad range of consultancy expertise, from individual specialist commissions to integrated multidisciplinary teams supporting major investment programmes.
Whether you need support with feasibility, design, compliance, project delivery or long term asset management, the framework provides the flexibility to appoint the expertise that best fits your requirements.
Consutancy Support Built Around your Requirements
Every project is different. CHIC’s Consultancy Framework has been designed to give housing providers flexibility over the type and level of professional support they need.
Members can appoint a single consultant for a specific requirement or bring together expertise across multiple disciplines for larger and more complex programmes.
This could include a stock condition survey to improve understanding of existing homes, fire safety consultancy, structural engineering advice, architectural services or support with Building Safety Act Principal Designer duties.
Consultants can also support members at different stages of a project, from initial feasibility and design through to delivery, inspection and ongoing asset management.
“Our members need tailored consultancy support and getting the right advice can make a real difference to the decisions landlords make about their homes. It could help resolve an issue affecting a resident today or inform an investment that needs to function well for many years. We want to help members use their resources effectively and deliver better homes for residents.”
