An integral part of Wakefield and District Housing’s (WDH) ‘Vision to 2035’ is a £146 million investment in making its homes more energy efficient, ensuring housing stock exceeds safety and compliance standards, and that estates are more attractive and safer places to live.
For WDH, investment is based on a whole dwelling, whole street and whole estate approach. Using Cadcorp SIS WebMap, they have created multiple interactive maps, informing teams across the organisation of the location of assets, ownership, and development projects. All WDH business data is displayed on detailed and up-to-date Ordnance Survey digital maps.
Jessica Rieck, GIS Analyst at WDH confirms: “Geospatial data is key in supporting the organisation’s asset management requirements and enhances analysis and reporting.”
WDH is proactively managing its properties and estates to ensure it provides safe and decent homes. It tracks the number of repairs, disrepair claims, EPC ratings, and types of insulation. Integrating this data with spatial data in an easy-to-navigate map gives the Repairs Team a more informed understanding of housing estates. As SIS WebMap links directly to the organisation’s asset management system, information on a property includes the full inspection schedule and repair inventory, enabling them to resolve issues promptly.
Over the last year, WDH has:
- completed 102,414 general repairs
- fixed 5,606 emergency repairs
- fixed 95.1% of repairs on the first visit
- took an average of 8.6 days to complete repairs
Jessica Rieck, GIS Analyst at WDH adds: “Cadcorp SIS WebMap is our first point of reference. It showcases important data for analysis to support our goal of improving the quality of our homes and neighbourhoods.”
