Decades of experience and advice
Expert, impartial guidance is especially important in sectors where transparency, accountability and value for money are critical. As independent advisers, 4i takes a holistic view of projects, helping housing associations and local authorities make informed decisions without the pressure of vested interests.
Achieving value for money isn’t just about cutting costs – It’s about understanding them. 4i ‘s Target Cost Model simplifies cost processes, provides transparency, and supports smarter decision-making. By focusing on realistic cost structures, 4i helps clients avoid unsustainable pricing and delivery risks.
A holistic approach to asset management and housing development is critical to ensure that every pound spent generates the greatest possible impact. 4i advises on stock rationalisation and helps clients move beyond siloed workstreams by integrating planned maintenance and investment programmes into one coherent strategy.
Transformational change requires the right culture and leadership to be successful. 4i builds confident, cohesive teams equipped to handle pressure in pursuit of strategic goals. As an ILM Centre, 4i incorporates psychometric testing and one-on-one coaching into accredited team development programmes to build internal capability – supporting both individual career progression and succession planning.

4i Solutions supported Affinity Sutton from 2009 to 2016 – the year it merged with Circle to create Clarion Housing Group – the UK’s largest housing association. 4i has continued to support Clarion’s national planned maintenance programme through Strategic Cost Management, Procurement Advice and a range of People and Culture Development services.
