The Opportunity

Consultants should be leading this transition

Across the UK, building owners are being pushed, by regulation, by insurance, by operational cost, toward digital records of their stock. Most don't know where to start. They need a trusted adviser to define the strategy, manage the transition, and build the digital estate they'll rely on for the next 20 years.

That adviser should be you. Not a technology vendor. Not an IT department. A building consultant who understands the stock, the compliance requirements, and the operational reality, and who has the platform to deliver it.

The industry is already moving. Leading consultancies are merging their surveying, facilities management, and building consultancy teams into unified built asset services, delivering whole-life thinking, not siloed reports. Digital stock demands a connected approach. Every discipline contributing to the same model, every observation visible to every team, every client able to see the building their money is being spent on.

AIM doesn't just improve your existing services. It breaks down the walls between disciplines, connects your entire team around one building, and creates entirely new service lines your competitors can't offer.
How It Works

Survey-driven capture.
Model built as you go.

The AIM Capture App is tailored to survey requirements. You're not just collecting images, you're building the digital model in real time, guided by the structure you're inspecting.

01

Capture

Walk the building with an Insta360 camera. The Capture App guides your route and auto-sequences images as you move through the building. AIM's AI and computer vision engine does the rest.

Capture time: As quick as you can walk through the building.
02

Process

Upload from the phone. AIM's AI and computer vision engine processes your capture, producing a navigable, measurable digital model with spatial alignment and full measurement capability.

intelligent. No manual stitching required.
03

Deliver

Hand your client a navigable, measurable digital record of their building. Not a PDF. Not a drawing. A living model they can explore, query, and build on, under your brand.

Browser-based. No software install for clients.
As-Built Creation

Right technology. Right job.
One integrated output.

AIM supports multiple capture methods, because not every building needs the same approach. You advise on the right tool for the job. AIM integrates the output regardless of source.

📱

360° Camera Capture

Walk-and-capture with an Insta360 camera. Fastest route to a navigable model, ideal for condition surveys, housing stock, and routine inspections. As quick as you can walk through the building.

New Revenue Streams

Services you couldn't offer before.
Now you can.

AIM isn't just about doing existing work faster. It opens entirely new service lines, advisory, managed digital stock, remote validation, that your competitors can't deliver without the platform to back them up.

High-Value Advisory

Digital Stock Transition

Your clients, housing associations, universities, NHS trusts, local authorities, have thousands of buildings and no digital record. They need someone to define the strategy: what to capture, in what order, to what standard, and how to maintain it.

That's a consultancy engagement, not a software sale. You define the digital estate strategy. You manage the rollout. You quality-assure the output. AIM is the platform that makes it deliverable.

Geospatial Opportunity

Laser Scanning, Drones & BIM Model Creation

Not every building can be captured with a 360° camera. Complex geometry, heritage structures, large-scale estates, and projects requiring BIM-level accuracy need geospatial expertise, laser scanners (NavVis, Leica, Faro), drone-agnostic aerial surveys, and digital model processing that produces deliverable models.

This is a major opportunity for geospatial specialists. As organisations transition to digital stock, they need experts who can advise on the right capture technology for each building, execute high-accuracy surveys, and produce BIM models that integrate with the digital twin. AIM provides the platform, you provide the expertise that makes it work at scale.

The Status Quo

Siloed teams. Disconnected data.
The old model doesn't scale.

Every discipline works in isolation. Surveyors produce reports. Asset managers maintain spreadsheets. Fire consultants deliver standalone assessments. None of it is connected. None of it builds on the work that came before.

01

Every discipline in its own world

The surveyor, the cost consultant, the fire assessor, the project manager, each produces their own deliverable from their own visit. Five disciplines, five isolated outputs, no shared picture of the building.

02

Expensive surveys reproduced for no reason

A laser scan was done two years ago. The measurements haven't changed. But a new project means a new scan, a new set of drawings, a new invoice. Expensive capture data sits unused because nobody can find it or access it.

03

Remote teams working blind

Your project manager is in the office. Your surveyor is onsite. Your cost consultant is overseas. Everyone needs spatial context, but only one of them has been to the building. There's no shared reference point.

04

Clients left outside the process

Your client commissioned the work but can't see the building until you deliver a final report. No visibility during the project. No way to validate findings. No collaboration, just a handover at the end.

Asset Tagging

Your building, fully measurable
and connected

Points of Interest turn a visual model into an actionable digital twin. Every observation is spatially located, visually referenced, and linked to the data that matters.

📍

Spatial precision

Every POI is pinned to an exact location in the 3D model. Navigate to a defect, an asset, or an observation, and see exactly where it is in the building.

📸

Visual evidence

Each POI includes the surrounding 360° context plus any additional close-up photography. The evidence is always attached to the location, never detached.

📎

Document & certificate links

Attach gas safety certificates, electrical reports, planning documents, or maintenance records directly to the relevant asset. The building becomes a living filing system.

📐

Remote measurement

Any surface in the model is measurable. Confirm dimensions, plan layouts, verify clearances, without returning to site. 30-second measurements replace 2-hour visits.

🔄

Lifecycle tracking

POIs carry status, priority, comments, and history. Track a defect from identification through remediation to sign-off, with a full audit trail at every stage.

Discipline Benefits

Every discipline. One model.
No more working in isolation.

AIM gives every team a shared, spatial foundation, not separate tools producing separate outputs. Each discipline contributes to and benefits from the same building record. Your clients see one integrated consultancy, not six disconnected reports.

🔍

Building Surveyors

Capture the entire building context during a single visit. Tag defects in-situ with location and photographic evidence. Write reports against the model, not from memory. Eliminate return visits for missed measurements.

Condition surveys · Dilapidations · Measured surveys
🏗

Asset Managers

Maintain a live, visual asset register tied to SFG20 maintenance schedules. Every plant item, every service record, every certificate, pinned to its physical location and accessible remotely.

SFG20 compliance · Lifecycle planning · Asset registers
📋

Project Management

Give every stakeholder spatial context without putting them on a plane. Track progress visually, validate scope changes against the model, and resolve queries with screenshots from the actual building.

Progress tracking · Remote validation · Stakeholder review
💰

Cost Management

Take off quantities from measured models. Verify areas, volumes, and dimensions remotely. Reduce the gap between estimate and reality by working from an accurate as-built, not an assumed one.

Quantity take-off · Area measurement · Fee verification
🔥

Fire & Health & Safety

Map fire safety infrastructure, escape routes, compartmentation lines, fire doors, extinguishers, to their exact location. Build visual risk assessments. Evidence compliance spatially, not just in spreadsheets.

Fire risk assessment · Compliance mapping · Hazard tagging
🏫

Estate Management

Build a navigable record of your entire estate. Plan maintenance cycles, evidence condition for budget submissions, and give facilities teams a visual tool for day-to-day operations, without specialist software.

Always Connected

The silo ends here.
Collaboration is the default.

Every discipline, every location, every stakeholder, working from the same building at the same time. AIM doesn't add a collaboration layer on top of siloed work. It replaces the silos entirely. The building becomes the meeting point.

One model, every discipline

Surveyor, fire consultant, cost manager, asset team, everyone works from the same navigable building. What one team captures, every team can use. No duplicate visits. No lost context.

Onsite, office, overseas, no difference

Browser-based, no software to install, unlimited users with no per-seat cost. A surveyor in Manchester captures. A PM in London reviews. A cost consultant in Dubai measures. All at the same time, all from the same model.

Remote validation as a service

Don't just use remote access internally, sell it. Validate conditions, verify remedial work, answer client queries, review contractor output. Billable, documented, and evidenced. A service line that didn't exist before.

Clients inside the process, not waiting outside

Give your clients live access to their building. Let them navigate the model, see the evidence, understand the recommendations as work progresses. Transparency builds trust, and trust builds long-term relationships.
