Lily Homes: one operating system for 30+ concurrent builds.

As Lily Homes scaled, client information, build progress, selections, inspections and maintenance were spread across disconnected tools. Ethical Edge Solutions designed a bespoke operations platform around the complete building lifecycle.

25–30 hours/week saved on coordination

30+ concurrent builds managed

Single source of truth

Real-time leadership visibility

The problem

Growth had outpaced the systems holding the operation together.

Teams were working across disconnected tools and spreadsheets. Work moved manually from enquiry to contract, construction, handover and warranty, while leadership had limited real-time visibility across builds and bottlenecks.

Fragmented build information
Client, selections, inspection and maintenance data lived across systems.

Manual handoffs
Staff were spending time coordinating information instead of progressing builds.

Limited visibility
Leadership could not easily see workload, status and bottlenecks across teams.

What Ethical Edge Solutions built

A platform shaped around how Lily Homes actually builds homes.

The platform became the operational layer connecting the building lifecycle, including tender management, workflow routing, client and job information, AI-assisted queries and leadership dashboards.

Unified workflow

A single operating layer across enquiry, tender, build, handover and post-handover activity.

AI assistance

AI-supported access to job, selection, tender and operational information without staff manually hunting through systems.

Leadership visibility

Dashboards and live operational context across builds, inspections, maintenance and bottlenecks.

The result

Less coordination. More operational control.

The existing project evidence records 25–30 hours per week saved on manual coordination, with 30+ concurrent builds managed through one platform.
