From property setup to report-ready output.

BIRD follows the inspector’s existing process and removes the manual production overhead. Four steps: property setup, component selection, photo upload, report generation. The inspector retains full editorial control over every finding.

Four steps. From first photo to signed report.

01.Property details

Enter the building address, type, year of construction, and inspection metadata. BIRD creates a structured project that contains all evidence and outputs for that property.

02.Select components

Choose building elements by survey section and assign condition ratings: 1, 2, 3, or NI. Notes and field observations attach at component level.

03.Upload photos

Upload inspection photography. Images are categorised by building component and linked to the corresponding element in the report.

04.Report

BIRD generates a structured condition report with a cover page, condition overview, element-level detail, photographs, and narrative assessments.

THE INSPECTOR’S ROLE

The final judgment stays with the professional.

BIRD produces a draft. The inspector reviews, adjusts, and approves. Condition rating, defect interpretation, and final recommendation stay with the professional. Every report is delivered under the inspector’s name and firm branding.

These are published benchmarks for what computer-vision condition assessment detects from photographs, not BIRD’s own production figures. They also show where photographs are not enough, which is where the site visit and the professional’s judgment stay essential.

Domain	Accuracy Range	Notes
Surface-visible defects	92–96%	Cracking, damp, corrosion, surface finishes. Consistent across published studies, and dependent on photo quality and lighting.
Equipment condition	80–90%	Visual assessment only. No functional or performance testing.
Behind-wall, under-floor, and sealed areas	Not assessable from photos	Require physical access and stay with the on-site professional.

These ranges reflect published benchmarks for computer-vision and language models applied to building inspection. They are not BIRD’s own metrics. We will publish our production figures once the platform has accumulated enough reviewed reports to measure them honestly.

Standards are built into the workflow.

BIRD currently generates reports aligned with the RICS Home Survey Level 2 structure, including the A-through-M section framework, condition rating methodology, and formatting conventions.
