PBSA-Digital Appliances

Standardised appliances across every apartment, delivered and maintained as one.

HiiLIFE specifies and supply's appliances for student accommodation alongside a KFM partner. Rather than a mix of makes and models we specify from a single range.

One specification. Estate-wide impact.

We collaborate with developers, main contractors and KFM partners to deliver a desired appliances specification level at competitive rates.

Truncated turnaround window

Simplify coordination & appliance management

We turn managing a wide variety of mix-and-match appliances, warranties and support contracts into a much easier operation.

Technical partner

Unrivalled access to premium Samsung appliances.

Solution overview

Why choose HiiLIFE for your Digital Appliances

Consistent appliances across your estate

One set of makes and models across the estate, so spares and warranty claims are simpler to deal with.

Specified for student apartments

Energy-rated appliances chosen to suit how your scheme will be used, agreed with you at specification.

Kitchen appliances delivered to specification

Integrated and freestanding kitchen appliances supplied to your developments specification, with installation coordinated with your KFM.

Warranty registered at handover

We register appliances with the manufacturer alongside your KFM, with the warranty starting from practical completion.

Commercial laundry available

We supply and coordinate commercial laundry facilities for high-density student accommodation blocks.

The HiiLIFE Process

Here's how we help student accommodation blocks bring consistency to their appliance fleet.

Specify

You get one appliance map for the whole scheme, chosen for running cost and serviceability as well as CAPEX. We specify appliances primarily from one manufacturer range, which gives you brand continuity across the scheme.

Install & Integrate

We coordinate the supply and delivery of kitchens for your KFM or main contractor partner to install.

Commission

Before practical completion, your KFM and M&E team check that each appliance works as it should. We work alongside them to register every appliance with the manufacturer, so warranty cover starts from the right date.

Support & Aftercare

We maintain all appliances under a defined SLA with the manufacturer, with spares managed and distributed directly through them. We're on hand to support with manufacturer claims where needed.

Testimonials

What 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.”

Amir Mirmotahari Development Manager, Dandi

“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.”

Paul Barnes Chief Operating Officer, Dandi
