About

We sit between the housing team and the system underneath.

BaseData is a specialist consultancy for UK social housing. We pair operational fluency with deep technical knowledge of NEC, DRS and Power BI, so the people who run the service and the people who run the data finally read from the same page.

Most reporting projects fail in the gap.

A generalist BI firm can build a dashboard but not read the schema. A housing person knows the process but not the joins. The result is reporting nobody quite trusts, built on assumptions about what the data means.

We close that gap. We know how repairs, voids and income actually flow through NEC Housing, and we build the reporting and tooling on top of that understanding, not around it.

How we work

Principles, not a pitch deck.

Plain answers

If we can't help, we say so. If a problem is simpler than it looks, you'll hear that too.

Yours to keep

We document everything and hand over the knowledge. No lock-in, no dependency you didn't ask for.

Regulated-sector discipline

Security, row-level access and audit are designed in from the first slice, not retrofitted.
