Letting agents and property managers

Turn routine property visits into structured condition records.

Current workflow
  1. 1The property is photographed at move-in and at every routine inspection.
  2. 2The photos sit in a folder or a camera roll, unsorted.
  3. 3Someone sorts them, writes the descriptions, and formats the report by hand.
  4. 4The record goes out days later, and move-in and move-out, taken months apart, never quite line up.
BIRD workflow
  1. 1Photograph the property as you do now.
  2. 2Upload the photos in one batch after the visit.
  3. 3BIRD sorts them by component and drafts the record to the same structure and severity scale every time.
  4. 4You review, edit, and send the same day, and move-in and move-out come out in the same format and compare directly.

Example workflow showing how inspection photos are organised into a structured condition record.

Review this workflow against your inspection process.

Share how your team records move-in, move-out, and routine condition visits. We can walk through where BIRD would fit and what a first pilot would look like.

Condition and TDD consultancies

Consistent report structure across every surveyor and every assignment.

Current workflow
  1. 1Each surveyor documents the site their own way, with their own photo and note habits.
  2. 2Photos and notes come back with no fixed structure.
  3. 3Depth and quality vary by surveyor and by how busy they were.
  4. 4The firm ships reports that do not read or look alike.
BIRD workflow
  1. 1The surveyor documents the site as usual.
  2. 2BIRD sorts the photos by component and drafts to one fixed structure.
  3. 3Every job comes back in that same structure, whoever ran it.
  4. 4The surveyor reviews, applies judgment, edits, and signs.

Evaluate BIRD on a real report.

Use one recent inspection to compare structure, consistency, and review effort against your current reporting process.

Technical and asset-management teams

Comparable condition records across buildings, teams, and reporting partners.

Current workflow
  1. 1Each building is assessed by whichever firm or person is available.
  2. 2Reports come back in incompatible formats.
  3. 3Comparing condition across the portfolio means reading each one by hand.
  4. 4There is no structured record to set one building against another.
BIRD workflow
  1. 1Every building is documented to the same component taxonomy and severity scale.
  2. 2Reports come back in the same structure, whoever ran the inspection.
  3. 3Condition compares directly, building to building, across the portfolio.
  4. 4Your team reviews and signs off, with the records kept to one standard.
