PF & Co Site Intelligence is not RICS-regulated. This document is provided to assist RICS-regulated professionals in fulfilling their supplier due diligence obligations under the RICS "Responsible Use of AI in Surveying Practice" standard (mandatory from 9 March 2026).
Our site intelligence reports are produced using an AI-assisted system:
AI produces the analysis and draft conclusions; it does not finalise them autonomously. A named technical reviewer checks and is accountable for every report before it is issued.
| Metric | Count | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Data Sources | 130 | Across 11 categories |
| QA Categories | 24 | Across 5 quality domains |
| Report Types | 24 | Covering planning, environmental, geological, heritage, transport, ecology, and construction |
Our system draws on 130 authoritative datasets across 11 categories. Individual source counts per category, source names, and per-report mappings are proprietary.
| Category | Type of data |
|---|---|
| Geology & Ground Conditions | Bedrock and superficial geology, borehole records, geohazard data, soil classification |
| Flood & Water | Flood maps, monitoring stations, defence assets, water company records |
| Heritage & Conservation | Listings, Heritage at Risk Register, conservation area boundaries |
| Ecology & Environment | Statutory designations, protected species records, priority habitats, ancient woodland |
| Planning & Land Use | Planning portals, local plan policies, Land Registry, Green Belt, Article 4 data |
| Mapping & Spatial | Base mapping, LiDAR elevation data |
| Climate & Energy | Climate projections, EPC register, distribution network capacity |
| Safety & Risk | UXO risk mapping, COMAH major hazard installations |
| Market & Infrastructure | Transactions, price indices, broadband, NSIP register, renewable energy data |
| Transport & Accessibility | Stops, timetables, rail frequencies, traffic data, cycle infrastructure |
| Amenity & Services | Schools, healthcare, retail, food hygiene data |
All sources are authoritative government or regulated-industry datasets. We do not use unverified web scraping, social media data, or crowd-sourced information as primary inputs. Named providers include (inter alia) the Environment Agency, British Geological Survey, Historic England, Natural England, DEFRA, Ordnance Survey, HM Land Registry, and the Department for Transport.
AI assists with gathering source material from authoritative datasets, analysis, and preparing initial drafts. Every output then passes an automated quality-assurance pass and is checked by a named technical reviewer before issue. The detailed technical design of the system is proprietary and is not published.
Every report passes through a 24-category QA pipeline before delivery. The pipeline covers five quality domains:
Individual QA check names, pass/fail criteria, and scoring algorithms are proprietary.
Every report is reviewed before issue by a named technical reviewer. The reviewer is identified on the report issue sheet and checks for accuracy, regulatory relevance, and professional appropriateness.
The named technical reviewer is accountable for the final report content. AI produces provisional conclusions, recommendations and risk ratings; these are reviewed and owned by the named reviewer, not finalised autonomously by the system.
No AI-generated report is delivered to a client without human review. There is no automated delivery pathway that bypasses human oversight.
Quality issues identified in delivered reports are fed back into the QA pipeline as new checks, ensuring continuous improvement.
Where we use third-party AI models or services, we assess them against data processing policies, security standards, and alignment with our governance framework.
