LifeProven was founded by Jordan Relfe and Adam Hinds in 2018 following a defining moment during the delivery of a student accommodation development. A major university was exploring a 25-year nominations agreement to house its students, but before committing, it required evidence showing how the building would impact student wellbeing over time.
What appeared to be a simple question exposed a major industry gap. The design team had no data to quantify the building’s wellbeing performance beyond professional opinion. Without credible evidence linking design decisions to measurable wellbeing outcomes, the university would not proceed with the agreement, impacting both income certainty and development funding triggers.
It was Jordan and Adam’s first experience of a social or environmental factor directly influencing financial performance.
In response, Jordan and Adam developed the Real Estate Wellbeing Metric, the world’s first post-occupancy evaluation survey system designed to quantify how buildings influence human wellbeing through measurable data.
Solving this challenge revealed a much larger shift taking place across real estate, where environmental and social factors were beginning to directly influence financial performance, funding decisions and long-term asset value.
This experience became the foundation of LifeProven, where Jordan and Adam developed a more integrated and data-led approach to understanding how factors such as technology, natural resources, climate, geopolitics, wellbeing and regulations influence long-term real estate performance.
