A property estate, brought under one system

A national government needed one reliable account of the property it occupied, the commitments it had made, and the decisions coming due.

$100m+annual public property expenditure governed
13ministries brought into one operating model
1authoritative register and lease lifecycle
The decision

Define the operating system before procuring the software.

The immediate pressure was to replace spreadsheets. The consequential decision was larger: what information, approvals and accountabilities would make the estate governable across government.

The work

From fragmented records to a buildable programme.

We worked owner-side to define the register, operating model and software specification, then stayed accountable as the programme moved toward delivery.

  • Estate and lease data model
  • Renewal and expiry alerting
  • Approval and exception workflows
  • Ministerial reporting and governance
The outcome

A programme the government could govern.

Property commitments became visible as one portfolio rather than a collection of departmental files.

A common definition of every property, lease and obligation

Preventative alerts before renewals and expiries became emergencies

Clear decision rights across thirteen ministries

What the client retained

A procurement-ready product specification

An authoritative estate data model

A prioritised delivery roadmap

Governance measures for cost, risk and adoption

A considered first step

Begin with the decision, not the build.

Our engagements open with a short, independent assessment before significant budget is committed.
