Site surveys and consulting – building condition captured reliably
For consultants who want walkthroughs, building envelope and plant status documented in structure.
Energy consulting needs traceable building data for retrofit roadmaps, funding applications and economic analysis. deep.rent supports consultants with site surveys, walkthroughs and condition documentation – with photos per room, envelope and plant, checklists and PDF for clients, funding bodies and planners.
Consultants need complete property records
Without structured site surveys there is no reliable basis for retrofit plans, grants and payback calculations. Sketches, loose photos and handwritten notes delay applications and complicate work with trades and planners. Guided on-site capture creates a shared data foundation.
Relevant protocol types for consultants
Site survey, walkthrough and condition – core consulting processes.
-
Walkthrough protocol
Property walkthrough with checklist and photos per area.
-
Condition protocol
Envelope, plant and loads captured in structure.

Energy consulting: typical gaps without a system
Without consistent capture, funding files and retrofit planning have gaps.
- Walkthrough notes without standardised capture of envelope, plant and loads
- Photos without reference to rooms, building parts or heating systems
- Data in Word/Excel without a media chain for funders and clients
Guided site survey with media
Every finding with photo and location – exportable as PDF for consulting, funding and planning.
