So you were wondering….

why someone was taking photographs in your road or street?

You may have seen one of our team members in a hi-vis vest photographing a building from the street — and naturally, that might raise questions.

We’re part of an independent research project focused on visible building defects. Everything we do is carried out from public spaces, and no personal or private information is collected.

Much like when people first saw the Google Street View cars, our work sparks curiosity — and that’s okay. Our goal is to explore how building professionals can benefit from better data and smarter tools.

If you’d like to know more or have any concerns, we’re happy to talk.
