The Surveyor of Tomorrow: How AI Is Reshaping the Profession
Join Aprao CEO Daniel Norman and Oliver Leeming, Executive Director at Lambert Smith Hampton, for a candid conversation about what AI really means for the future of surveying - from graduate pipelines to professional judgement, and the growing divide between the firms who can afford the future and those who can't.
The surveying profession is at an inflection point.
RICS has published its first global mandatory standard on the responsible use of AI in surveying practice. Automation is accelerating. And firms across the UK are grappling with a question that has no clean answer: where does technology end and expertise begin?
In this webinar, Daniel Norman (CEO, Aprao) sits down with Oliver Leeming, who leads valuation operations at one of the UK's largest property consultancies, to go beyond the hype and talk about what's actually happening on the ground.
- AI and the profession — what the technology can genuinely do today, what it can't, and how surveyors should be positioning themselves now
- The graduate gap — how training and mentorship need to change when juniors are working alongside AI tools from day one
- The big firm / small firm divide — as technology costs rise, are we heading toward a two-tier profession? What can smaller firms do to stay competitive?
- The human touch — client relationships, professional judgement, and the parts of surveying that no model will replace
