How We Deliver: Methodology, Technology and Operational Rigour
A standardised production pipeline: mobile field capture to one work instruction, mandatory 18-point GPS photo evidence, a same-day QA desk and live client sync, so every home is captured the same way and every exception is caught on the day.
A Standardised, Repeatable Survey Production Pipeline
High-volume surveying contracts fail when data collection is inconsistent across surveyors or when QA happens weeks after the field visit. Strata runs a rigorous, automated delivery workflow designed to catch exceptions on the day of inspection, keep every home on the same standard and give the client the same live view our operations desk uses.
Field Capture (WI01)
Every surveyor works to our WI01 Field Work Instruction. The mobile app enforces mandatory geotagged, timestamped photographs across 18 property categories before a job can be closed, so evidence is never left to memory.
Same-Day QA Desk
Submitted survey data, measurements and photographs are audited daily by our central QA desk. Discrepancies go back to the surveyor the same day for re-check before anything is lodged or released.
Live Client Sync
Completed surveys, EPC lodgement references and structured condition exports sync to the client dashboard in the Survey Programme Management System, giving full transparency on programme velocity.
Every Surveyor Starts the Day With a Route, Not a List
Jobs are scheduled and routed centrally and pushed to each surveyor's device with the property reference, access notes and the survey template for that programme. Start, no-access, book-appointment and add-note actions are one tap, and every action is timestamped and geotagged for the audit trail.
Mandatory 18-Point Photographic Evidence Checklist
Enforced digitally on every dwelling so the record withstands accreditation body audits, funder scrutiny and Awaab's Law evidence requests:
Senior Sign-Off Before Anything Leaves the Building
Each property's evidence pack, crack details, boiler plate, floor plan and supporting documents, is reviewed and approved by senior surveying staff before release. The pack is what your auditor, funder or board asks for later, so it is built and checked on the day rather than reconstructed months afterwards.
How we get into homes other programmes miss.
Twenty pages on the part of a survey programme that actually decides whether it lands: resident contact, booking, and what happens on the day nobody answers. Includes our live exception log, mobilisation timetable, SLA commitments, and a full page on what we do not do.
