Zutec, a leading provider of digital solutions for construction and property management, has announced a major milestone—its platform now stores and manages data for more than 30% of high-rise Build-to-Rent (BTR) units in the UK, reinforcing its reputation as a PropTech frontrunner.
As client portfolios expand, so too does Zutec’s value in helping BTR developers and operators manage their properties more efficiently. The platform supports a range of critical functions—from safety documentation and asset control to digital handover and compliance reporting.
At the start of 2025, there were just over 100,000 BTR high-rise homes across the UK, with tens of thousands more underway. In total, Zutec’s platform houses data for more than 30,000 of these units via its Handover and Asset Management modules, making it a go-to partner in the sector.
Addressing Key Sector Challenges
Building owners and operators are often hampered by scattered data and legacy systems. Zutec’s all-in-one solution ensures building information is centralised, accurate, and always up to date. Features include digital handovers, comprehensive document storage, compliance tracking under the Building Safety Act, and tools for inspections, such as fire doors and façade elements—critical for maintaining data integrity and regulatory alignment.
When used from construction through to operation, Zutec provides BTR operators with a consistent, structured dataset. Existing information from older systems can also be uploaded, eliminating data silos and streamlining access.
Maria Hudson, Chief Marketing Officer at Zutec, stated:
“The Build-to-Rent sector requires confidence in their data to manage assets efficiently, make informed decisions, and stay compliant with evolving regulations. With nearly a third of all BTR high-rise units in the UK hosted on our platform, we’re building that confidence by helping the sector structure and streamline building information management in one accessible system. As regulation tightens, we’re committed to supporting more BTR providers in consolidating their approach and ensuring compliance with ease.”
Key Customers and How Zutec Helps
Notable BTR customers partnering with Zutec include Greystar, Grainger, Realstar, Moda Living, Touchstone Resi, Get Living and Essential Living. These clients leverage one or a combination of the following solutions:
- Specifying Digital Handover Building Manuals: Under a framework agreement, BTRs can specify that their developers/contractors use Zutec for digital building manuals across all in-progress construction projects, ensuring documents and data are standardised and delivered consistently in one platform. This simplifies handover to asset management and provides easy access to information for all stakeholders as information is hosted in one place.
- Digitising and Migrating Existing Building Information: Zutec consolidates legacy building information, often stored in various formats across multiple systems, into a single platform for digital handovers, O&M (Operations & Maintenance) manuals, and BSA compliance. As a live record, the platform also provides an audit trail of tracked changes and version control, ensuring critical data is never lost or inaccessible.
- Solutions for Fire Door Audits and BSA Compliance: Zutec’s cloud-based, mobile Fire Door Audits solution captures, stores, and updates inspection data in real time using standardised forms and checklists. Automated compliance tracking, photographic evidence and digital signatures strengthen audit trails and compliance verification, and instant alerts and reminders prevent missed inspections and overdue corrective actions.
Additionally, with Zutec’s BSA Dashboard, users can streamline safety documentation when managing thousands of documents across a portfolio making compliance more manageable and ensuring the right information is present, correct and accessible to those that need it.
