The problem

Reinstatement cost assessments meant gathering data, applying cost models and writing a report every month: slow, repetitive and hard to keep consistent.

What we built

  1. Documented the firm's assessment method, cost sources and report structure.
  2. Built a solution that assembles building data, applies the cost model and drafts the report.
  3. Added checks that flag unusual values for the surveyor's attention.

The outcome

A 12-hour process now takes 3 hours, releasing around 900 professional hours a year.
