Building Control Site Inspections

Building control inspections ensure construction complies with regulations, focusing on health, safety, and structural integrity. With the volume of inspections rising in this area year on year, the industry needs a way of maintaining their high inspection standard with the same number of staff.

Benefits:

  • Automated geotagging of assets: Detects the location of the device and automatically date/time stamps images and videos.
  • Reduce wasted time by on average 30%: Reduce no shows and inspections where the site isn’t ready by booking a specific time slot with an applicant and gathering images and evidence of the site before the inspection is carried out.
  • AI Detection of non-compliance: Referencing the latest published guidance, AI detects and flags potential non-compliance.
  • Increased Inspection Output: Remote inspections allow surveyors to conduct at least three times more inspections in the same timeframe, drastically improving productivity.
  • Detailed Documentation: Automatically generated inspection reports ensure every stage of construction is well-documented in a customer friendly format.
  • Increased documentation: Mitigate risk by capturing more pictures and videos with ease – this can be challenging while on site using your own phone while engaging well with the customer.

Private Rented Stock Condition & Interim Inspections

In the private rented sector, landlords must conduct regular condition and interim inspections to ensure properties are safe and well-maintained. Damp, mold, and condensation are common issues that can negatively affect tenants’ health and lead to disputes and we can automatically identify signs of these.

Benefits:

  • AI Detection of Damp & Mold: Quickly identifies moisture-related problems, ensuring landlords can address these issues proactively.
  • Automated asset registers: Automatically detect assets in a building such as furniture, boilers, meters (including their readings). These assets are then compiled into a register that can be edited by the user and included in any reports generated.
  • Consistent Monitoring: Regular, remote inspections help maintain properties and comply with rental standards without needing frequent physical visits.
  • Efficient Reporting: Automatically generated reports provide landlords with clear action points, particularly regarding damp and mold remediation.
  • Reduced Disruption and access issues: Remote inspections allow landlords to fulfill their obligations while minimizing disruption to tenants.
  • Dispute Prevention: Documenting property conditions helps prevent disputes between landlords and tenants regarding the state of the property.

Repairs & Maintenance

Regular repairs and maintenance inspections are critical for keeping properties safe and habitable. Moisture issues like damp, mould, and condensation can cause long-term damage if not addressed quickly. Having an up to date view of the condition of stock also help with accurate planning of future maintenance costs.

Benefits:

  • Proactive Damp & Mold Detection: AI identifies areas affected by moisture, helping prevent long-term damage and costly repairs.
  • Emergency response: Jump straight on a call with a tenant to assess a problem and determine the most appropriate person to send out – or better still, solve the issue there and then on SurveySphere.
  • Efficient Resource Allocation: Helps prioritize repairs based on the severity of defects, particularly those involving moisture-related issues.

Energy Efficiency Inspections (e.g. Retrofits)

Growing to a target 500,000 retrofits by 2025 (UKGBC) and 1m a year by 2030 the energy efficiency industry needs to look to technology to help it scale the number of inspections being undertaken.

Benefits:

  • Automated room scanning and measurements: Make the assessors more efficient on site by saving time spent measuring and drawing floor plans. Automatically detect and measure windows, doors and other key objects.
  • Faster audits and decarbonisation: Remote inspections cut out travel time and enabled inspectors to triple their output without taking on more staff and reduces their carbon footprint by ~7.5kg per inspection.
  • AI Detection of Non-compliance: Identifies areas of non-compliance in guidance such as PAS2035.
  • Detailed Energy Reports: Automatically generated reports highlight areas for improvement.
  • Align with targets set to achieve net zero: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consecte adipiscing elit sed sem ex.
