Connected technology your residents expect, delivered as one system by one trusted partner.
HiiLIFE specifies, installs and commissions your building network, access control, smart controls and monitoring, and supports them after handover.
In Build to Rent, technology drives a resident’s daily experience of the building. It can win or lose a flat.
A network residents rely on
Residents judge a scheme on its connectivity. We specify and commission the developments network, meeting the new gigabit-capable standard new homes now need.
Entry and access control
Access control and video entry systems sourced from leading manufacturers. We set them up around how your team works, so they work first time.
EV and metering built in
New schemes have to provide EV charging, and communal systems need accurate monitoring. We plan the cabling and systems for both.
Split systems, slower fixes
When systems sit on separate contracts, nobody owns the whole picture. We cover all aspects of resident technology alongside HVAC and AV, so fixing a fault becomes much easier.
We engineer with market-leading equipment brands.
What we deliver within Resident Technology
A network built for the whole building
A managed building network and resident WiFi designed to support the gigabit-capable connectivity new homes now require.
Access connected to the resident app
Access control and video entry integrated with the resident app and the building’s management systems.
Smart controls where the scheme needs them
Smart-home controls for heating and lighting where the scheme specifies them, integrated with HVAC.
Monitoring set up for the operator
Remote monitoring with alerts, configured for your operations team so faults are visible early.
EV provision planned with the electrical design
EV charging, or Part S cable-route provision, coordinated with the electrical design.
Support and aftercare
Phone and remote support provided under a service level agreement or as and when you need it.
We deliver resident technology as one package the operator can manage. Here is how we deliver exceptional resident technology across schemes big and small.

Developer walkthroughWhat our clients are saying.
“They help us design, they help us execute, they know what we are after. They help us design spaces efficiently in the way we wanted to really perform.”
“The main benefit of HiiLIFE is a lot of companies are very specific in one area, so you’ll have an AV provider, a climate provider, a white goods provider. We like working with them because they deliver a one-stop shop service for construction and also really easy to project-manage with them.”
