A free 60-minute briefing for surveying firm owners. . Counts as informal CPD — recording included.
The RICS Professional Standard on Responsible Use of AI in Surveying Practice came into effect on 9 March 2026.
Seven weeks in, most firm owners I speak to are asking the same two questions. Does this actually apply to my firm. And if it does, what do I need to do about it.
This briefing answers both.
It is not a walkthrough of all 30 mandatory requirements. It is not a sales pitch. It is a straight, plain English briefing built for firm owners who need to know where they stand and what to do first.
The RICS AI Readiness Assessment has been completed by over 1,000 surveyors and firms. The patterns are clear.
of firms have no documented process for verifying AI outputs.
And the gaps go further. Across firms surveyed, most are missing three foundations the standard now expects:
Most firm owners are not behind because they do not care. They are behind because nobody has explained the standard in a way that maps to how a firm actually runs.
This briefing does that.
Take the RICS AI Readiness AssessmentSee where your firm stands before the briefing.
Firm owners and directors of UK surveying firms — sole practitioners through to mid-size practices — who want to understand the standard properly and know where to start.
It will also be useful for employed surveyors who want to bring something practical back to their firm, and for partners and suppliers who want to understand what their surveying clients are now being asked to do.
Anyone looking for a deep technical dive into AI tooling, prompt engineering, or specific vendor comparisons. This is a governance briefing, not a how-to-use-AI briefing.

“Nina's advice is practical and describes for easy understanding what businesses have to do to comply with the standard. She also highlighted and discussed areas that are not so clear to follow and suggested the best approaches on achieving the required outcomes. I would recommend this session to others for it's practicality.”
“The session, and Nina, both were absolutely fantastic. A lot to take in but Nina made it very personable. Highly recommended and would definitely attend future sessions.”
“A well prepared and engaging webinar that provided practical guidance and resources for compliance with a complex standard. Recommended.”
