FID Case Study: Cut Ekkist
Healthy Homes Checklist (HHC) is helping to create healthier homes by giving developers, housing providers and design teams a practical way to assess and improve the wellbeing impacts of residential developments.
Through the Future Industries Demonstrator (FID) at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Healthy Homes Checklist transformed its assessment process from a manual tool into a scalable digital platform, enabling faster reviews, greater transparency and wider adoption across the housing sector.
The challenge
As the housing sector increasingly focuses on wellbeing, sustainability and resident outcomes, demonstrating the health impacts of new developments has become more important than ever.
However, assessment processes are often:
- Time-intensive and reliant on manual data entry
- Difficult to scale across large developments
- Challenging to communicate across multiple stakeholders
- Inconsistent when assessing large numbers of homes
- Less accessible for organisations seeking clear, evidence-based insights
For developers, architects and housing providers, there is growing demand for tools that can demonstrate both healthy and sustainable housing outcomes efficiently and at scale.
The solution
Healthy Homes Checklist developed a digital version of its established assessment tool, moving from spreadsheet-based analysis to a portal-based platform.
The platform enables:
- Faster and more efficient assessments
- Improved accuracy and consistency of reporting
- Better collaboration between project teams
- Benchmarking at individual home level
- Greater transparency for clients and stakeholders
By digitising the process, Healthy Homes Checklist has created a more scalable solution that supports healthier housing outcomes across entire developments.
Testing at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Through FID, Healthy Homes Checklist developed and tested its new digital platform on live housing projects, validating its ability to improve delivery and support future growth.
Trial approach
- Development of a portal-based Healthy Homes Checklist platform
- Testing across active residential development projects in London
- Collaboration with developers and design teams to refine functionality
- Collection of user feedback to improve usability and reporting
Results and impact
The trial successfully demonstrated the benefits of moving to a digital platform:
- Assessment delivery times reduced by approximately 50%
- Improved accuracy and consistency compared to manual processes
- Increased confidence from clients through a dedicated technology platform
- Re-engagement from previous clients interested in using the updated system
- Better communication and reporting across developments with multiple residential units
The trial also confirmed that the platform could support large-scale projects, allowing assessments to be undertaken more efficiently across entire housing schemes.
