Planned Decant in Birmingham

Planned decants during refurbishment, regeneration or major improvement works require coordinated accommodation for residents while works are completed.

Birmingham and the wider West Midlands region experience a range of residential incidents including fires, flooding from the River Tame and its tributaries, and structural issues in older housing stock. Our accommodation network covers the entire metropolitan area.

Temporary Accommodation During Planned Decant

Housing associations regularly undertake planned works programmes that require residents to temporarily vacate. These include kitchen and bathroom replacements, structural improvements, energy efficiency upgrades and full estate regeneration. Accommodation planning aligns with works schedules.

Key Challenges

Large-scale planned decants require careful coordination to ensure accommodation is available as each phase of works begins. Multi-block programmes may run over several months with residents moving in and out of temporary accommodation.

Typical duration: 2 weeks to 6 months per phase
