SAY has previously won Consultancy of the Year in 2017 and 2019.

If you are a developer, landlord or investor with an interest in a residential or mixed used scheme with two or more apartments, then the Building Safety Bill and the Golden Thread Regulations will apply to you.
It will have profound consequences for the UK construction and leasehold sectors, fundamentally changing the nature of evidencing to the Building Safety Regulator and to residents.
Introduction from Debra Yudolph, Partner at SAY
Our homes are our sanctuary and as a result of the pandemic, we have found ourselves demanding more of our homes and spending more time at home. There has never been a time when a well-designed and effortlessly functioning home has been more important because we are demanding so much more of them. Homes are now places where we work, study, exercise, virtually socialise and of course, eat, relax, and sleep!
The results and findings from the first Build to Rent (BTR) viewing experience benchmark, have been published in a trend report today by hereSAY, the new mystery shopping service line from SAY Property Consulting.
Charles and Gareth have been credited in CIBSE’s Application Manual, ‘Heat pump installations for multi-unit residential buildings’.
SAY are incredibly proud to have been shortlisted for the RESI Awards 2021 Consultancy of the Year. It’s been an unusual and challenging year but against all odds, SAY has grown more than any other year in its history.
The SAY team were delighted to celebrate One Crown Place welcoming its first residents in June, having achieved practical completion in May. SAY are thrilled to have formed part of such a brilliant team, and are excited to have been appointed to provide an ongoing asset management role for MTD Group.
The publication of the Building Safety Bill, this week, marked, what SAY hope will be an important step to ensuring the safety of residents in apartment blocks. The Building Safety Bill targets two transformational and interlinked areas; prioritising the residents’ voice and The Golden Thread. The latter is the digitally recorded details of a building’s design intent, construction and amendments passed from the duty holder in the design and construction phases to the responsible person during occupation.
We’re excited to be launching our whitepaper on the ‘post-pandemic’ home in collaboration with Hyperoptic, developed with qualitive and quantitative research of 311 property experts, as well as a survey of 2,000 Brits. This follows our hugely successful ‘A Connection to Tomorrow’ white paper, which explored the future of technology and communications in real estate.
