SurveyOS is the first field-grade platform purpose-built for marine surveyors, mechanics, and inspectors.
SurveyOS.io is a cloud-based inspection and reporting platform purpose-built for property surveyors, building consultants, and compliance professionals. The core premise is deceptively simple: capture inspection data once, output every report your clients require.
The platform handles structured data capture in the field, intelligent report templating, multi-format PDF generation, and client-specific branding — all without the surveyor touching a second form. From a single inspection session, SurveyOS can produce condition reports, defect schedules, compliance summaries, and executive briefs simultaneously.
Surveyors conducting a standard commercial building inspection were spending up to 60% of their billable time on post-inspection documentation — not analysis, not client communication, just re-keying the same observations into different templates.
Existing tools treated each report as a separate project. The industry needed a platform that understood one inspection is the source of truth.
SurveyOS introduces a structured inspection schema — every observation, measurement, and photo is captured against a defined data model, not a blank form. That schema becomes the single source from which all report templates are rendered.
Report templates are built on a composable block system. Each block maps to specific inspection fields, so when a surveyor completes an inspection, every template that references those fields is immediately populated. Puppeteer-driven PDF generation handles pixel-perfect output with per-client branding injected at render time. The result: submit an inspection, download every report in under 90 seconds.
I led end-to-end product engineering on SurveyOS — from initial architecture through to production launch. Responsibilities spanned:
I also worked directly with three pilot surveying firms to validate the inspection schema against real-world edge cases before launch.
A guided, field-validated inspection form that enforces completeness without slowing surveyors down. Conditional logic surfaces only relevant fields based on property type and inspection scope.
One inspection triggers simultaneous generation of all mapped report templates. Puppeteer renders each PDF against a live HTML template, with client logos, colour schemes, and legal disclaimers injected per-output.
A drag-and-drop block editor lets firms build and maintain their own report templates, mapping blocks to inspection fields without writing code. Changes propagate to all future reports instantly.
Across three pilot firms in the first 90 days of production use:
SurveyOS didn't just speed up an existing workflow — it changed what surveyors bill for. Time previously lost to admin is now recoverable as client-facing analysis and consultation hours.
A few technical decisions that made SurveyOS meaningfully different from a standard form-to-PDF tool:
