Schools, colleges, universities. Hundreds of buildings spread across dozens of sites. Condition data buried in PDFs. Funding bids built on guesswork. Estates directors spending half their week in a car. AIM gives you a digital record of every building, captured once, accessible from anywhere, by anyone who needs it.
The DfE's Condition Data Collection confirmed what estates teams already knew: the buildings are ageing, the data is incomplete, and the decisions being made from it aren't good enough.
Condition reports live in PDFs, spreadsheets, and filing cabinets. No single source of truth across the estate.
CIF bids scored on evidence quality, but most applications rely on photos and written descriptions that don't show the full picture.
Without reliable data, budgets get consumed by emergencies. Planned programmes lose out to the leak that just appeared.
Term-time restrictions compress survey windows into school holidays. Intrusive work has to wait. Assessments queue up.
Estates directors spend 40-60% of their time travelling. Every question about a building means another drive across the county.
700+ schools affected. Ongoing visual monitoring required. But most have no structured way to record and compare conditions over time.
Navigable 360 digital environments for every building. Walk through any room, any corridor, any plant area from your desk.
Timestamped, spatial records that show exactly what needs fixing, where, and how extensive the damage is. Built for funding applications.
Share the digital model with contractors before they arrive. They see the site, take measurements, understand the scope. Fewer surprises, better quotes.
Site managers, estates directors, consultants, contractors, governors. Everyone who needs access gets it. No per-seat licensing.
Asbestos registers, fire risk assessments, legionella records, Display Energy Certificates. Link compliance data to the actual spaces it relates to.
Capture buildings during holidays when access is straightforward. Every team benefits from that data for the rest of the year, without stepping on site.
In August 2023, over 700 schools were identified with RAAC. The immediate question was simple: what does the building actually look like right now? Most couldn't answer it without sending someone to check.
Capture the current state of every affected area. Create a digital baseline that future inspections can be measured against.
Re-capture at intervals. Compare conditions side by side. Identify deterioration before it becomes an emergency.
The Condition Improvement Fund allocates £450-500 million per year through competitive bids. The School Condition Allocations distribute over £1.1 billion annually to large MATs and local authorities. Both require solid evidence of need.
Applications are scored on evidence quality. A navigable digital model showing the defect in full spatial context, with measurements and timestamps, is stronger evidence than a folder of photos with written descriptions. Assessors can see the problem, understand its extent, and verify the scope of proposed works.
Multi-academy trusts receiving SCA funding need to prioritise spend across their entire portfolio. That means comparable data from every school, not a patchwork of different surveyors' reports from different years. AIM gives you a consistent, up-to-date digital record that makes prioritisation defensible.
A multi-academy trust estates director is responsible for 30 schools across three counties. Today, she drives between sites constantly. Every question about a building means a visit. Every contractor needs a walkround before they can quote. Every funding bid means digging through old survey reports for evidence.
With AIM, the trust captures every school during the summer holidays. Site managers walk each building with a 360 camera. It takes as quick as it takes to walk around. By September, the estates team has a navigable digital model of every building in the portfolio.
Now she opens a building from her desk. Checks the condition of a roof soffit without driving 40 miles. Shares the model with a roofing contractor who measures and quotes without a site visit. Pulls timestamped evidence into a CIF bid. The travel drops. The decisions improve. The funding cases get stronger.
30 schools captured in 6 weeks by existing site staff. No specialist training. No equipment beyond the camera kit.
Every building accessible digitally from any browser. Estates team, consultants, contractors, all working from the same model.
Funding bids, insurance claims, governor reports. The visual evidence already exists in the platform, ready to use.
Walk the building with a 360 camera. The AIM Capture App guides the route and sequences images automatically. Capture as quick as it takes to walk around. Flag areas of concern as Points of Interest.
Upload from the phone. AI and computer vision analyse every image, building a navigable, measurable digital environment automatically in our UK cloud.
Estates directors, site managers, contractors, consultants, governors. Everyone navigates, measures, and annotates the same model. Any browser. Any device. No return visits.
30 minutes. A real building, captured and digitised. See exactly how your estates team would use it.
