Building surveying has unique requirements that go far beyond simple mobile data collection forms. No longer are simple browser-based or iPad-based data collection tools good enough for surveying practices.
Better Mobile Data Collection Software Needed

Building surveying has unique requirements that go far beyond simple mobile data collection forms.
No longer are simple browser-based or iPad-based data collection tools good enough for surveying practices.
There is now much better mobile data collection software explicitly designed for surveying using modern Android devices.
At last there is flexible mobile surveying software for ALL built environment sectors. Suitable for housing & asset management organisations, such as surveying practices, housing associations, councils, building surveyors.
Surveyors and surveying practices need a wide range of survey templates covering different data collection situations. Furthermore, they need turnkey systems that can also be customised to suit their clients' requirements.
Surveyors need a software application for mobile devices that collects asset condition and facilities data out in the field.

Then the paper documents or handwritten notes would sit in a remote corner of an office and never be analysed - and never be proactively used to make sound future investment decisions.

These inefficient working methods have been drastically improved by using the PocketSurvey mobile app, and the associated desktop data management and reporting software.
At last, you can collect data quickly and easily on-site, produce capital investment reports in seconds, and export well-structured data to your in-house housing management systems.

However, the PocketSurvey software expands on these and gives you more combinations to choose from that are needed in the real world.
The Management Survey purpose is required to manage ACM during the regular occupation and use of premises. The duty-holder can do a management survey where the premises are simple and straightforward. Otherwise, a surveyor is needed.
The refurbishment/demolition Survey is required where the premises, or part of it, need upgrading, refurbishment or demolition. The Survey does not need a record of the ACM condition. Normally, a surveyor is needed for refurbishment/demolition surveys.
