The AI workforce
for property.

Property runs on billions of small acts of attention. Reading statements. Chasing certificates. Reconciling rent. Coordinating maintenance. Calling contractors. Keeping landlords and tenants informed. Every rental property depends on this invisible operational work. Every property business hires people to do it. We are building the AI workforce that replaces it.

We didn't set out to build software.

We set out to solve a problem we couldn't escape. We both own and manage UK property portfolios. Like most landlords, we hired property managers because we didn't want property becoming a second job. For a while, it worked.

Then the maintenance delays started. Routine repairs sat in inboxes for weeks. Tenants chased us because they couldn't reach the person supposedly managing their property. Every few months another property manager left, taking months of context with them. It wasn't one company. It wasn't one person. It happened everywhere.

Eventually we realised we weren't looking at a people problem. We were looking at an operating model that depends entirely on humans remembering, coordinating and following up thousands of tiny tasks every day. The software recorded what happened. The people still had to do all the work. The model was the problem.

We eventually brought maintenance back in-house. The delays almost disappeared. But we simply moved the operational burden onto ourselves. Our evenings became contractor calls. Our weekends became tenant updates. We hired administrative support, but people can only chase so many emails, phone calls and approvals in a day.

That's when we realised what property didn't need. It didn't need another dashboard. It needed another employee.

Property doesn't need better software. It needs a different kind of employee.

Pladius works like an operational teammate. It reads statements, invoices, certificates and emails. It coordinates contractors. It follows up automatically. It books appointments. It keeps everyone updated. It remembers every conversation.

When something needs human judgement, it hands it back to your team with the context already prepared. Everything else keeps moving.

For property managers, that means growing portfolios without growing headcount. For landlords, it means getting back the time they thought hiring a property manager would save in the first place.

Software economics. Employee output.

Our mission

To raise the standard of every rental home in the world, by backing the people and businesses that run them.

Built by Property Investors. Designed for the world.

Two founders. One conviction.

Both run UK property portfolios. Both spent careers fixing operations inside the kind of institutions where the small things have to work or the big things break.

Antonio

Co-founder & CEO

Lloyds Banking Group, AIOxford Saïd, AILSE real estate economics

Antonio leads strategy, product and engineering. A decade-plus building AI and digital products across startups, scale-ups and the institutional end of UK financial services. Most recently inside Lloyds Banking Group, the UK's largest banking group, where he is part of shaping the AI Accelerator and enabling AI adoption at scale.

He studied Artificial Intelligence at Saïd Business School, Oxford University, and real estate economics at LSE. He has run his own UK property portfolio for almost a decade, diversified across multiple property managers. Pladius is what happens when you point that experience at a problem you live with personally.

He still ships code, reads the research and tunes the model stack. Technical depth is not delegated.

Berlinda

Co-founder & COO

Revantage (Blackstone)Harvard Business SchoolEquifax, RELX, UK Gov

Berlinda runs operations, partnerships and the regulatory layer. A decade-plus leading digital transformation and change management alongside the Big Four consultancies on global initiatives for clients including Equifax, RELX and UK Government initiatives. Regulated, complicated environments where the details matter.

Previous experience inside Revantage, a Blackstone real-estate services company, getting close to how institutional operators actually run thousands of units in production. She holds entrepreneurship training from Harvard Business School, and today runs a UK property management company alongside Pladius. Everything we ship gets tested on a live operation before it reaches a customer.

She also runs her own UK portfolio. The same operation, lived twice.

Built on real operations.

Every workflow inside Pladius started as a real operational problem we experienced ourselves. Every release is tested against live property portfolios before customers ever use it.

If it doesn't genuinely save time, reduce mistakes or improve the experience for landlords, tenants and property managers, it doesn't ship.

We are not interested in AI demonstrations. We are interested in operational reliability.

How we build.

Four principles for building an AI workforce property businesses can trust every day.

We start with operations.

Every feature begins with a real workflow, not a brainstorming session. If the operational problem isn't real, we don't build it.

Human judgement stays human.

Pladius coordinates work. People make decisions. The goal isn't replacing property managers. It's removing the repetitive coordination that keeps them from doing higher-value work.

Reliability over novelty.

Property businesses don't need AI that impresses. They need AI they can trust every day. We optimise for consistency, accuracy and accountability long before we optimise for flashy features.

We use what we build.

We rely on Pladius ourselves. If we wouldn't trust it to run our own operations, we won't ask customers to trust it with theirs.

Write to us.

Whether you are a property manager, landlord, investor or simply curious about what we are building, we would love to hear from you. One of us, Antonio or Berlinda, will reply personally.
