AIM wasn’t designed in a software lab. It was built on scaffolding, in stairwells, and across thousands of property surveys where the same problems kept coming back.
AIM started with a frustration that every surveyor knows: you visit a property, you do your work, you leave, and then someone needs another piece of information. A measurement you didn’t take. A photo from a different angle. A detail that wasn’t in the brief. So you go back. Again.
Danny McKeown and Owen Jenkins spent years running surveying and asset management operations. They saw the same pattern everywhere, five different programmes sending five different teams to the same properties, none of them sharing data, all of them duplicating effort and cost.
The idea behind AIM was simple: what if you could capture a building once, and give every team the data they need from that single visit? Not a floor plan. Not a photograph. A complete, navigable, measurable digital record that any team member can access from anywhere.
That idea became AIM Platform, a system that turns routine walkthroughs into permanent digital records using 360° cameras, AI and computer vision, and a web-based platform where anyone can navigate, measure, and report.
Today, AIM is used by housing providers, surveying consultancies, facilities managers, and contractors across the UK. But the principle hasn’t changed: capture once, use forever, and stop sending people back to buildings you’ve already visited.
Product and system design lead. Danny built AIM from real-world surveying operations, driven by a belief that property data should be captured once and accessible to everyone, not locked in PDF reports or lost to repeat visits.
