Invest in the Future of Housing Compliance
Regulation has created a mandatory market. We've built the platform to serve it.
The Investment Opportunity
UK social housing is facing its biggest regulatory shift in decades. Awaab's Law and the Consumer Standards framework are forcing every housing association and council to prove they're proactively managing environmental hazards.
DMS Smart Monitor is purpose-built for this moment—not adapted from industrial IoT, not retrofitted from smart home tech. We designed every feature specifically for UK housing regulation compliance.
Why Now?
Awaab's Law came into force 27 October 2025. Housing providers face strict legal timescales and regulatory scrutiny. The market isn't emerging—it's here.
The Thesis
- Mandatory market: Regulation is forcing adoption—this isn't discretionary spend
- Purpose-built positioning: First platform designed specifically for Awaab's Law compliance
- Recurring revenue: Hardware + SaaS subscription = strong unit economics
- Expansion pathway: Social housing → Supported housing → Private rented sector
- Social impact: ESG-aligned investment that genuinely protects vulnerable residents
Market Opportunity
- 1,400+ Housing associations in England
- 200+ Local authorities with housing stock
- £Billions in annual reactive repair spend
- Rising disrepair claims and legal costs

Revenue Model
- Hardware: One-off per property (Hub + Sensors)
- Platform: Monthly/annual subscription per property
- Services: Installation, training, integration support
High customer retention expected—switching costs increase over time as evidence trails accumulate.
Why DMS Wins
Generic IoT platforms can monitor humidity. But can they map data to Awaab's Law timescales? Generate RSH-ready reports? Provide evidence that stands up in disrepair claims?
Regulation-First Design
Every feature maps to specific regulatory requirements. Awaab's Law timescales built into the alert system. Consumer Standards compliance baked into reporting.
Sector Expertise
Built by a team that understands housing associations, ALMOs, and local authority housing. We speak the language of stock condition, disrepair, and RSH inspections.
Defensible Evidence
Tamper-evident audit trails designed to support legal proceedings. Evidence that protects housing providers in disrepair claims and regulatory investigations.
Expansion Ready
Platform architecture supports expansion into supported housing, extra care, and private rented sector. UK market first, with potential for international housing markets.
Growth Pathway
Now: Market Entry
Paid pilots with housing associations and local authorities. Proving the technology, building case studies, refining the product-market fit.
Next: Scale
Convert pilots to full deployments. Expand into supported housing and extra care environments where vulnerable residents need enhanced protection.
Future: Expand
Private rented sector, Build to Rent, and international markets. Similar regulations emerging in Scotland, Wales, and EU housing markets.
