Who We Are: Empower Consulting and Our Role in the Social Housing Refurbishment Sector

At Empower Consulting, we specialise in connecting main contractors with accredited, pre-vetted subcontractors who can mobilise quickly to deliver social housing refurbishment and maintenance works. Our goal is simple — to strengthen the links between contractors, housing associations, and councils by helping the right teams work together efficiently and compliantly.

With many housing frameworks and planned maintenance programmes running across the UK, the demand for qualified, reliable subcontractors has never been greater. Empower Consulting bridges that gap by identifying trusted trade specialists with the skills and accreditations required for housing projects — from kitchens and bathrooms to electrical, heating, and void property works.

Building trusted industry connections

Our network includes experienced subcontractors who understand the standards and pressures of social housing delivery. Each team we recommend has been verified for key credentials, including health and safety, insurance, compliance, and relevant trade accreditations. This approach ensures that main contractors can expand their supply chain confidently, without compromising quality or compliance.

We also maintain strong relationships with suppliers and framework partners, giving us early visibility of upcoming opportunities where additional capacity is required. This allows Empower Consulting to introduce the right subcontractor teams to main contractors at the exact point they’re needed — saving time, avoiding delays, and keeping delivery programmes on track.

Supporting contractors nationwide

Whether you’re managing a long-term refurbishment framework or delivering reactive maintenance across multiple sites, Empower Consulting provides fast, free access to qualified subcontractors who can mobilise anywhere in the UK. Our service is completely free for contractors — we simply provide the introductions and verified project information to help you make quick, informed decisions.

By focusing exclusively on the social housing sector, we understand the importance of reliability, compliance, and cost-effective delivery. Empower Consulting’s mission is to make collaboration between main contractors and subcontractors easier, more transparent, and more successful — helping to improve the quality of homes and communities across the country.
