Why Renaldo for housing companies

From your stock to a building decision – without the survey treadmill.

Your stock, prioritised

Every address checked automatically: how much building right is unused, which property suits serial retrofit, which concept fits – as a ranked list of opportunities instead of a hundred individual surveys.

Build & retrofit serially

The pre-designed apartment-block concepts of the GdW framework agreement on serial construction, matched automatically to your plots – all the way to the supplier enquiry and a pre-configured bill of quantities.

Run in rent

Viability from net rent × multiple instead of sale prices – including the Section 559 modernisation levy with its caps, plus funding. The view a housing company actually decides in.

Features for housing

Analyse, cost, build — from one model.

The analysis shows where building pays off. The costing runs on real contractor prices. And the tender grows out of the same data – nothing re-entered.

Analysis

The whole stock in one scan

Address list in, opportunity list out.

Import your stock as text or CSV — every property is enriched with cadastral parcel, planning law and standard land value from official sources and ranked by potential: densification, serial retrofit, concept fit.

Costing

Costing without a quantity take-off

Quantities from the building, prices from the market.

You pick the work. The quantity comes from the building and room data, the price from real regional contractor rates. No counting windows, no measuring wall areas.

Tendering

The bill of quantities you never have to write

Straight from the configuration into the tender.

The configuration produces a tender-ready bill of quantities across all trades — with full item texts, quantities and unit prices. For serial concepts, pre-configured in system construction.

From analysis to operation

Six tools, one data core.

01 · Portfolio analysis

The whole stock – checked automatically for building opportunities.

Paste an address list or upload a CSV – Renaldo enriches every property with official data (cadastral parcel, site-coverage and floor-area ratios, standard land value, existing built volume) and scores three opportunities: densification (unused building right with a unit estimate), serial retrofit and concept fit. As a ranked list and on the map – and any opportunity becomes a project with one click.

  • Import by copy-paste or CSV – units & year built optional
  • Three traffic lights per property: densification · retrofit · concept fit
  • Ranked list + map view, “Pursue as a project”

02 · Serial construction (GdW)

Pre-designed apartment-block concepts, matched automatically.

Renaldo knows the concepts of the GdW framework agreement on serial construction and checks them against the development potential of your plot – with supplier, construction method, energy standard, CO₂ figure, number of flats and the margin when buying at the standard land value. Adopt a matching concept directly as a project: building structure and bill of quantities are pre-configured in system construction, and you contact the supplier with a ready-to-send letter.

  • Concepts of the GdW framework agreement, checked per plot
  • Margin per concept – at the standard land value or the asking price
  • Concept adoption with a pre-configured BoQ + supplier enquiry

03 · Serial retrofit

Which properties suit serial retrofitting.

The suitability check scores every existing building against the criteria of serial retrofitting – building type, residential units, construction era – and shows honestly what speaks for or against factory prefabrication, including a cost anchor per m² of living space. Out of your stock grows the longlist for the next retrofit programme.

  • Suitability check per property – portfolio-wide in the analysis too
  • Serial retrofit works in the catalogue (façade elements, roof modules)
  • Missing data is named instead of silently marked down

04 · Viability in rent

Run in net rent – not in sale prices.

Acquisition check or project costing: Renaldo can run the numbers in the letting view – capitalised value from net rent × multiple, supportable land price including purchase costs, and for modernisations the maximum Section 559 levy with its caps, funding and value uplift. For housing companies the rent view is the default, not a detour.

  • Capitalised value from net rent × multiple, regional rent assumptions
  • Section 559 modernisation levy incl. caps, funding, own share
  • Reverse calculation: the rent the project would need to carry

05 · Quick plot check

Acquisitions appraised in minutes.

Type an address – Renaldo loads the cadastral parcel, planning law and standard land value from official sources and shows the supportable land price at your target margin, including purchase costs. The densification map colours the neighbouring parcels by unused building right, and the result goes straight to board or supervisory committee as an acquisition memo PDF.

  • Supportable price incl. purchase costs, compared to the standard land value
  • Densification map: neighbouring parcels by unused building right
  • Acquisition memo as a PDF for your committees

06 · Operation & ESG · with Renaldo Operate

Rent roll, maintenance and ESG – where no ERP covers them.

Optionally, the operations module extends into the operating phase: tenancies per residential unit, maintenance with follow-ups, service-charge allocation by floor-area key and an ESG rating per property with an as-is → retrofitted comparison. Deliberately optional – if your ERP does this, leave it there.

  • Rent roll, vacancy, avg. € per m² – per property and portfolio-wide
  • ESG score with CO₂ per m²·a and a retrofit pathway
  • Optional per project – €9 per unit/month, cancel any time

FAQ

Quick answers

For housing companies and cooperatives – municipal, cooperative, church-owned or private. Developers who run projects from acquisition to sale will find their way in at Renaldo Developer; asset managers running portfolios for owners at Renaldo Operate. All three share the same platform and can be combined.
No – by design. Renaldo is the construction and investment side: analyse the stock, cost measures, tender, build and retrofit serially, run rents and viability. Rent accounting and commercial administration stay in the ERP. The optional operations module adds rent roll, maintenance and ESG reporting where no ERP covers them.
Renaldo knows the pre-designed apartment-block concepts of the German GdW framework agreement on serial construction and checks them automatically against the development potential of your plots – with supplier, construction method, energy standard, number of flats and the margin at the standard land value. Direct call-off from the framework agreement is open to GdW member companies – anyone can enquire, straight from the app with a ready-to-send letter.
Housing Start is free: analyse up to 25 properties, one active project. The annual platform fee is charged per residential unit of the organisation, on a sliding scale from €6 down to €1 per unit per year (minimum €1,490) – for example around €10,000 per year at 2,000 units. Retrofit projects pay half the new-build project-fee scale when deliberately activated; operations (€9/unit/month) is optional. All prices – or try free for 60 days, no credit card.
