Pilot 5 voids. Measure us. Then scale on evidence.
The Occupy Pilot Scheme is a fixed-price, eight-week programme for housing associations, councils and registered providers ready to test a faster operating model on real voids — with a no-quibble exit.
What the pilot includes
A complete recovery programme — at pilot scale.
5 high-friction voids
You select properties that have stalled. We don't cherry-pick the easy ones.
48-hour survey, fixed scope
Each property surveyed and priced within 2 working days of instruction.
One accountable partner
All trades sequenced under a single recovery manager — no contractor relay.
Live recovery dashboard
Daily void days saved, rent recovered, TA cost avoided — visible to your asset team.
