🎙️ Podcast Episode 14: “AI in Surveying – Responsibility, Opportunity, and the Future” With James Brook FRICS & Rhodri Mcatee AssocRICS ACABE
In this episode, I sit down with James Brook FRICS, an experienced chartered surveyor and industry thought leader, to explore the rapidly evolving role of Artificial Intelligence in surveying. Together, we unpack how AI is being applied across different aspects of the profession — from report writing and compliance checking to risk assessment, data analysis, and automation of administrative tasks.
We discuss what responsible AI use looks like within a regulated profession, the surveyors’ role in guiding technology ethically, and how to ensure that innovation enhances — rather than replaces — professional judgement.
James also shares insight into upcoming proposals for an AI-assisted surveying framework, the challenges of adoption across the industry, and what these developments could mean for the future of residential and commercial surveying.
Whether you’re a practising surveyor, proptech innovator, or simply interested in how technology is reshaping the built environment, this episode offers valuable perspective on the next chapter of surveying in the age of AI.
