Enabled Self Procurement (ESP) is a dual method of social engagement and technical simulation for organising self build housing at a volume scale.

The ESP tool allows Slider to offer local authorities, developers and Community Land Trusts/owners a new way to build better housing in the UK by enabling development opportunity for all people. ESP encourages its adopter to work with local communities to develop planning applications through the organisation of design charettes alongside other architects and design professionals.

Rapidly generating scenarios for economic appraisal using Slider’s SiteCapacity service parallels the development of housing pattern books and design codes that can lead to simulated online virtual environments allowing for the coordination of design that enables developers at all stages of the project process.
