Case Study: National House Building Group achieves secure, instant access to technical board materials and reduced meeting costs with Diligent Boards

National House Building Group Gets Technical With Diligent’s Secure Board Portal Solution

A national house building group and leader in sustainable construction, the company runs up to 120 board and committee meetings a year with 32 users across multiple boards. Before adopting a digital solution, it relied on manually compiled paper packs—sometimes 250 pages each—containing sensitive commercial and technical information for land acquisitions and construction bids, creating security, access and administrative challenges.

The group implemented the Diligent Boards secure board portal (rolled out from July 2013), chosen for its resource centre and archive-books features and deployed in stages across the plc, executive board and seven committees. Directors now have instant in‑room and remote access to current and historical bid materials, improving decision-making and communication, while support staff time, meeting costs and physical archive volumes have been significantly reduced.
