Housing association Notting Hill Housing is using
software from CTSpace to improve efficiencies and drive
better collaboration on its property development
programme.
CTSpace’s technology will be used to store and share documents
and designs across the supply chain to reduce storage and back-up
requirements, travel, print and courier costs as well as increasing
productivity, deliver faster turnaround times on requests for
information and approvals. The investment was also designed to
reduce IT costs, the organisation said.
Notting Hill Housing had become concerned about rising costs,
said Shane Dargue, land manager at Notting Hill Housing.
“We looked at where we could improve operational costs and
productivity, and revising our business processes was a key area
that would help. Problem areas included unnecessary replication of
information, time wasted searching for information and retrieving
files.”
Notting Hill Housing will roll out the CTSpace solution across
three new projects by the end of March and intends to extend its
use to manage all programmes of work. The aim is to increase
delivery from 500 units per year to 2,000 units, amounting to £600
million of work.
