Purpose-limited use
Client evidence is used only to produce the requested transcript or draft report for that instruction.
AI-assisted property transcription + report drafting
Onsite recording into review-ready reports.
A specialist AI-assisted drafting desk for independent surveyors. Send dictation, handwritten notes, photos and your template. Get back a clean transcript and structured draft report within 24 hours of a complete evidence pack, with any unclear points flagged for review.
The offer
More than typing. Less than another software platform.
General transcription services can type up property recordings, but surveyors need more than a transcript. SurveyDrafts turns site evidence into the report structure your firm already uses, while keeping assumptions, missing evidence and professional judgement clearly separated.
Specialist AI speeds up transcription, note extraction and first-draft structuring. The output is still reviewed before return, and the surveyor remains responsible for professional conclusions and final issue.
AI-assisted, human-checked
Specialist AI speeds up the paperwork, not the surveyor's judgement.
AI is used to support transcription, handwritten-note extraction and report structuring. It helps organise the evidence into your agreed template; it does not inspect the property, invent missing evidence or issue professional advice.
No public model training
Client evidence handled through our business AI workflow is not used to train public models by default.
Human review
AI output is checked before delivery, with unclear wording and unsupported points flagged for review.
Clear responsibility
The final report remains the surveyor's document. SurveyDrafts returns drafts for professional review.
Report services
Property documents handled from dictation, notes or mixed evidence.
The core service is survey report drafting, with transcription support for related property work where a clean written record is needed quickly.
RICS Level 2 / HomeBuyer-style reports
Concise condition-focused drafts from inspection dictation, photos and standard firm wording.
RICS Level 3 / Building Survey reports
Detailed section-by-section drafts with ratings, risks, legal issues and surveyor queries preserved.
Inventory and schedule of condition reports
Room-by-room notes typed into a clear property record with defects, condition notes and photo references.
Schedules of dilapidations
Inspection notes organised into schedule-ready language for review by the responsible professional.
General property correspondence
Letters, follow-up notes and client-facing updates drafted from voice notes or rough bullet points.
Interviews, planning and meeting notes
Recorded discussions and planning material transcribed into a usable written record.
Secure by design
Confidential property files need a proper handling model.
Survey recordings can include addresses, client details, access notes, defects, valuations and legal risks. Files should be uploaded through a secure portal, not sent as loose email attachments.
Encrypted transfer
Incoming audio, notes, photos and template files are handled through a secure Dropbox upload route with TLS transfer and AES-256 storage encryption.
Processor agreement
Agree controller/processor terms, retention periods, deletion rules and breach-notification duties before live work.
Confidential workforce
Every drafter or typist works under confidentiality obligations and only accesses jobs assigned to them.
Review boundary
Drafts are returned to the surveyor only. They are not issued to clients, lenders or agents by the drafting desk.
