AI Briefing for Surveyors · Free · CPD

New AI tools are reaching your firm faster than anyone can check them

Under the RICS Professional Standard, the duty to check them sits with you.

New solutions arrive every week. Some come from established suppliers. Some come from startups with a brand and little behind them. A practical hour on what the standard now requires, where the real risks sit, and how to tell a credible supplier from a fragile one.

Wednesday 15 July 2026. 1pm to 2pm UK time. Free. Online. Informal CPD.

What this briefing covers

The market changed. Your obligations changed with it.

New AI tools reach the profession every week. Some come from surveyors. Some come from tech startups and overseas operators. Under the RICS Professional Standard, every tool your firm uses falls within scope, and the obligation to check it stays with your firm. Many suppliers do not know the standard exists. This hour covers what to check, and how to read the answers you get.

  • Where the tools come from

    Surveyors, tech startups, and overseas operators. Why credibility varies so widely, and what to look for.

  • What the standard requires

    The checks your firm must make before and during use of any third-party AI tool.

  • Where your data goes

    Hosting location, UK jurisdiction, GDPR position, and who owns what you put in.

  • The commercial risk

    What happens to your records and your exposure if a supplier folds. Cost creep, and why some suppliers are not registered companies at all.

  • Credible or fragile

    The questions to put to any supplier in writing, and what a thin answer tells you.

Who this is for

If your firm uses AI, this is for you.

The monthly briefing is built for any surveyor working under the RICS Professional Standard. Whether you run a multi-office firm or work on your own, each edition covers something UK surveyors need to know about AI. This one is built to land for all of it.

  • Partners & directors

    Decision makers in UK surveying firms.

  • Sole practitioners

    Consultants and independent surveyors.

  • Compliance & ops

    Anyone responsible for how AI is used inside the firm.

  • APC candidates

    Getting to grips with the regulatory framework you're qualifying into.

  • Adjacent professionals

    Conveyancers, energy assessors, construction specialists.

From the last briefing

What people said.

Nina's AI knowledge is exceptional. To present and carry a room full of 'weathered' professionals on the journey from where they are to where they might/should consider going is no mean feat. AI is coming whether property professionals like it or not and Nina is making a real difference in breaking down uncomfortable barriers and making it all seem much more accessible and useful.

Nina's sessions are always thought provoking and I always value the question sessions at the end. Well worth joining one of her sessions to start your AI journey. Nina has got great insight and I always enjoy her sessions.

An excellent session that breaks down the whats, whys and wherefores on AI. Nina makes the subject accessible and entertaining with her friendly and approachable presenting manner. A real mix of audience members who all seemed to gain a better understanding of this fast moving subject. Highly recommend.
