Every surveying firm knows this call.

A couple buying their first home. Victorian terrace, two hours outside your patch. You can't take it, so you say sorry and give the usual advice.

And that's the last you hear of them.

It happens across the profession every day. Wrong postcode, wrong specialism, full diary. Good work turned away, with nowhere sensible to send it.

The firm loses nothing. The client might lose a lot. They're left choosing a surveyor from a search result, for what is probably the biggest purchase of their life.

So we built the Surveyors UK referral network.

You post the enquiry you can't take
It goes to member firms that cover that region and specialism
You check their profile before you pass anything on
No referral fees. Goodwill and reciprocity only

It's a simple way to make sure the work you turn away lands somewhere good.

Its for ALL types of surveying, commercial, residential, building surveying, geospatial, quanity surveying, retrofit professionals and so on.

We opened up a few weeks ago and have nearly 20 firms on board already

Open to every firm, from £35 a month. Link in the comments.

What happens when AI takes away the work that teaches you the job?

In this episode of This Is Surveying, we’re joined by Will Doyle, former quantity surveyor and founder of Gather, to explore how AI is changing quantity surveying, from repetitive work and project records to professional judgement, experience and the human skills technology can’t replace.

If AI takes away the repetitive work, how do we make sure the next generation still gets the experience they need?

The people we call “technophobes” might actually be better at using AI.

Will Doyle, former quantity surveyor and founder of Gather, challenges the assumption that an ageing workforce will struggle with AI. His experience suggests something quite different: experienced professionals can use technology as an enabler, while older users may actually be embracing AI because it gives them an easy, judgement-free way to get answers and support.
Maybe the AI generation gap isn’t what we think it is.

Quantity surveyors aren’t professional bickerers.

Will Doyle, former quantity surveyor and founder of Gather, challenges the traditional image of quantity surveying as a profession built around arguing, red-penning and knocking money off. He discusses why collaboration, humility and people skills need to play a much bigger role in how surveyors work.

Full episode on Tuesday. Link in the comments.

You can’t shortcut the hard yards.

Will Doyle, former quantity surveyor and founder of Gather, talks about how AI can take away repetitive work, but why experience still matters. You need to know the job before you can use AI effectively, question its answers and make sure it is helping you do the work you trained for.

New episode lands on Tuesday. Link in the comments.

AI could make you the most powerful person on the project.

In this episode, I talk to Will Doyle, former quantity surveyor and founder of Gather, about how AI is changing quantity surveying, construction and infrastructure.

We talk about the power of better project records, how AI can help professionals work with information more effectively, the changing role of the quantity surveyor, and what happens when technology is put in the hands of people who understand the work.

Imagine not being able to picture a house.

For a surveyor, that sounds like a problem. For Dan Knowles, it’s a “secret power”.

Dan , founder of Websters Surveyors, opens up about aphantasia, homelessness, resilience and his unconventional path into surveying. He also shares how AI is changing the profession without replacing professional judgement and more.

A raw and fascinating conversation about seeing surveying differently.

Your Google ranking might mean nothing to AI.

People are now using AI to find surveyors in ways that are very different from Google. Dan Knowles, founder and managing director of Websters Surveyors, explains why trust signals like professional credentials could matter more than traditional keywords.

New episode lands tomorrow. Link in the comments.
