Surveyor · Field App
Stage 1, Booking

New survey booked

A booking comes in from the website (or is entered by the office) and lands as a job in the CRM. The client chooses the survey type; property details are looked up automatically from the address.

Website booking
The "What survey do I need?" tool on the website steers clients to the right survey before this form.
From the booking

What the customer told us when they booked. Confirm or correct it on site.

Stage 2, CRM

Job created

The booking becomes a live job inside the existing Damp Experts Group CRM, client record, appointment and quote reference all linked. The surveyor picks it up on the field app.

Stage 3, Site plan

Site plan & annotation

Upload the property's floor plan from Polycam and read the rooms off it, then mark each finding on the plan and describe it.

Stage 4, On-site survey

Record findings, minimum taps

The surveyor works through the property. Observations are captured as structured taps, not typing, record it once and the software writes the report. The capture form adapts to the survey type. Drop a numbered marker on the plan for each finding.

Stage 6, AI drafting

Building the report

Everything the surveyor captured is turned, server-side, into a full report: key findings, professional opinions and a matched schedule of works, written in Damp Experts Group's own voice, learned from hundreds of past reports.

We generate the report from your survey
AI drafting

Draft your survey notes

We turn the brief notes you entered on site into clear, correctly-spelled professional wording, following the firm's Engineering Decision Process. Read each one, edit it, or regenerate anything that isn't quite right. This is just the wording, recommendations come next.

Stage 7, Quoted works

Quoted works & pricing

The recommended works, priced manually by the surveyor. A separate step from the report, enter each line item and the survey fee, and the totals calculate automatically.

Quoted works (entered manually)
Net£3,475
VAT @ 20%£695
Total£4,170
Stage 8, Client report

The interactive report

What the client opens from their email. Numbered markers on their own plan, tap one to reveal the evidence, the diagnosis and the recommended fix. The whole report structure adapts to the survey type.

Stage 9, Review & send

Review & send

A final check of the pricing before it goes to the client, then approve and send. The report wording and recommendations are set on the earlier steps; the client email is previewed below.

1 · Pricing
2 · Store it on the customer record

This puts the report, your full working and the priced works onto the customer’s record in the CRM, so they are not only on this device. It does not email the client.

Not stored yet.
3 · The client email

Email clients strip interactivity, so the email is a clean branded summary that links to the live interactive report.

    Stage 5, Recommendations & specifications

    Recommendations & specifications

    Done before the report, so the report can include them. The AI reads the survey findings and the treatments marked on the plan, turns each recommended work into a detailed technical specification, the method, the materials and the standards behind it, then sequences them into a recommended plan of action.

    Choose the engine, then it drafts. If one is unavailable it falls back to the other, so the report is never left blank.

    Stage 6, Works plan

    Mark the works on the plan

    A separate copy of your survey plan. The findings you marked are shown for reference; mark where the works will be carried out. This does not change the survey plan.
