RICS now holds a named surveyor responsible for AI output
The professional standard on responsible use of AI in surveying practice applies to members and regulated firms worldwide. Where AI has a material impact on service delivery, an appropriately qualified and named surveyor has to prepare or supervise the written decision on its reliability.
The firm discloses that use in Terms of Engagement, with redress and an opt-out for the client. It also has to seek specified information from providers before it buys anything.
Where training comes in
A team that has never been shown how to check AI output is in no position to sign off its reliability.

What I hear a lot
The tools arrived. The training did not. So I hear the same six things in almost every room I walk into.
- Licences bought. Most of them sit unused.
- One person is quietly doing everything with it. Nobody else knows how.
- Nobody is sure what is allowed anywhere near client data.
- Someone tried it once, got a generic answer, and went back to the old way.
- The output needs so much fixing it is quicker to write it yourself.
- It should be saving time somewhere. Nobody knows where.
Three ways to work with me
Training comes first. Almost every team I meet needs to start there. The other two are for once the habit is in place.
AI training
Practical sessions built on your own work, after a short survey of the team so the examples are theirs. Half a day, or a shorter taster. People leave having used it on a real job.
- Your documents, not demo data
- Tool-agnostic
- Hampshire and London, or online
Automation workflows
The manual steps between the tools you already pay for, removed. Quotes, invoicing, data entry, follow-ups, scheduling.
MoreFractional AI
Two or three days a week for six to ten weeks. I find where the time goes and build what fixes it. Then I hand over something the team runs without me.
MoreWho I am
Dicky Broadhurst
AI trainer, business builder
I spent seven years running a personalised chocolate company. Two million in revenue, a team that grew to fifteen, products I designed myself. It folded in the end, and I came out of it able to build the systems a business runs on... because I had to run all of them myself. Sales, ops, finance, fulfilment, customer service.
Before that I qualified as a chartered surveyor. Auctions and hotels at JLL in London, capital markets in Sydney, then site sourcing for wind farms. A masters in property investment and law along the way, and a psychology degree before it.
Now I teach teams the thing that decade taught me: where AI genuinely saves time, and how to build it into the way a business already works. The examples land because I have done the jobs, not read about them.
How it works
Discovery call and team survey
A call to see where the time goes, then a short survey so I hear it from the team, not only the person who booked me.
Workshop
A hands-on session on your real work. Your people leave with prompts and quick wins they will use that week.
Build the quick wins
The jobs that come up again and again get turned into automations that run on their own.
Support
I stay close while it beds in, and adjust things as the work changes.
Case studies
Your most expensive asset is your team. Right now some of that time goes on data entry and chasing customers who were never going to buy. Here is what that time gets back once it is fixed.
Stretch & Tents, event hire
A stretch tent hire company running on disconnected systems. I connected their hire software, crew scheduling app and accounts so job packs, payment status and enquiries now flow between them without re-keying, and built an interactive tent picker for their website so customers see real layouts before they enquire. Built to run without me in the room.
A second engagement, with LCC Capital, is about to start. Case study to follow.
AI in commercial property
I qualified as a chartered surveyor, so property teams get a specialist version of all this: straight answers, and training built around how a property business actually runs.
