Sequel

Sequel is a property project management software platform designed to help UK housing association professionals, such as development project managers, oversee the build and development of social housing schemes.

Manage the build phase of affordable housing on a single, intuitive platform. Sequel is there from the moment you identify land that presents an opportunity, to the completion of the scheme.

What sets Sequel apart? It was created by people who know the industry inside out. With years of experience working for multiple housing associations, we understand the complexities of overseeing the construction of affordable housing and we’re committed to making our property development software the best it can be.

With the most sophisticated cloud hosting in the world, your team can access Sequel from anywhere, any time. Benefit from SDS as your dedicated IT team, handling everything from onboarding to automatic bug fixes.
