Global Digital inspection tools for home surveys webinar

Digital inspection tools are increasingly being used by residential surveyors to support safer, more efficient and more consistent inspections. From drones and camera poles to AI-assisted analysis and digital reporting platforms, these tools have the potential to enhance how surveyors observe, record and communicate the condition of residential properties.

This webinar will explore a range of digital inspection tools currently available to residential surveyors and how they can be used appropriately within the framework of the RICS Home Survey Standard. The session will focus on practical application - what these tools can and cannot do, how they support professional judgement, and how they align with RICS expectations around inspection, evidence, limitations and reporting.

Using examples from real inspection scenarios, the webinar will help surveyors understand where digital tools add value, where caution is required, and how to integrate technology into inspections without compromising professional responsibility or survey quality.
