The Ant and The Elephant: How proptech & Build-to-Rent must cooperate to progress

ASK4 1711 Closing the gap graphics

Exploring the relationship between the Build-To-Rent sector and proptech, The Ant and The Elephant contains testimonials and data taken from BTR organizations, analyzing pain points, differences in motivations and ultimately how some of the gaps can be bridged.

Following a BTR roundtable, hosted by ASK4 and HomeViews in March 2024, it became clear that there were a number of misalignments between BTR and protech organizations. The Ant and The Elephant looks in-depth at these misalignments while highlighting the ways that progress can be made for the benefit of both sectors.

In October, a second roundtable in partnership with Centrick focused on reflecting on the earlier discussions and generating ideas for tangible ways that the two sectors could become more aligned. Ideas around ROI evidencing, industry standard procurement practices, databases on suppliers and solution compatibility, better understanding of BTR development cycles, and dedicated technology leads within BTR organisations were all raised. 

What’s new?

Building on discussions from two expert roundtables in March and October 2024, the updated report explores:

  • Tackling data integration and standardization.
  • Practical ways to balance cost and ROI.
  • Building better procurement and operating practices.
