We are a small company who value the importance of a personal service. We are open, honest, and trustworthy. We work directly with the client, to ensure we can tailor our solutions to meet the client’s needs; whether it’s changing the resolution of the data, reformatting building characteristics codes or changing the currency, we can adapt easily to whatever the requirements are.

Products from hei-risk data are subscription free, so only a single payment is required when purchasing a product. Many exposure data providers charge customers in the form of annual license fees for commercial use, meaning additional annual payments being charged to the client, resulting in higher expenses and increased administration.

With the ever-improving quality of census data, more information regarding the type of buildings and their composition is available to help model the built environment. However, there is still the problem of resolution and the challenge of accurately mapping building data to precise location. We use a clear, solid, organized method along with intelligent spatial analysis tools and techniques to ensure the data produced is accurate and detailed.

The importance of accuracy of location cannot be underestimated. Even a small shift in data during analysis, which can easily happen when working with geographical data, can move building values away from the true location causing misleading results. This can be a serious issue when developing exposure data, as it can remain undetected and therefore feed through the process to provide incorrect information, causing business decisions that might lead to huge financial mismanagement. At hei-risk data we are aware of how these problems can arise and therefore use the best methods and tools for spatial data analysis to ensure our products are reliable and accurate.

A complex mix of geographical spatial analysis, database management, programming and research skills are required to produce high quality exposure databases. Another major factor is experience, hei-risk data has both the expertise and experience of developing exposure data through the whole project cycle. Our significant expertise and experience enables us to be highly skilled in many fields, some of which include:
