Instead of coming out to fix the one block toilet, they'll knock on the door of every house.
They go through every house in a far away and they fix everything.

At the moment, the focus tends to be more on modular housing by government, but these things go in cycles.
Certainly, you know, it's absolutely important and fundamental to
to sit down with people and help to design and ask people what they want.
Yeah, look, normally when we've... So we've been working now in almost, as of this week, 11,000 houses around the country.
We've surveyed and fixed over 40 years and we've fixed close to 353,000 items in those houses.
So this data...

Now, generally, when we walk into a house, we're finding about 8% of houses have a safe electrical system.
We know with a small 8%, it's a shocking number.
With a small amount of money, we can shift that number up closer to 90%.
We know when we walk through the door, 39% of houses have a working shower.
And we can get that up to a similar number, near 90%.
Kitchens are much harder.
Kitchens are down around 6%, and we can get that up to about 30%.
