At Urban Developments, we believe facilities management should be stronger, smarter, and more responsive. After years of working alongside nationwide FM providers, we saw a clear gap: housing association managers needed more than generic contractors — they needed a specialist partner who understands the unique demands of social housing and estate maintenance.
We built Urban Developments to fill that gap. Our niche service offering is designed to streamline maintenance for housing providers by reducing job start times, increasing efficiency on site, and raising safety standards across the board. By acting as an all-in-one contractor, we help clients cut through layers of subcontracting and deliver real, measurable value.
Whether it's exterior cleaning, façade preservation, grounds maintenance, or compliance-driven remedial works, Urban Developments is built to protect and extend the life of your assets while making estate management simpler and safer.
