Methodology

HSG264 digital reporting workflow

A structured digital workflow aligned to HSG264 methodology — consistent inspections, evidence-led capture, calculated risk scoring and professional reports that read the same across every surveyor.

Structured inspections

Every survey opens on the same skeleton — survey scope, surveyor, inspection date, property type and limitations. The methodology is captured once, not retyped per report.

Consistent evidence capture

Every ACM is recorded against the room it lives in, with material type, condition, location and accessibility. There is no free-text-only path; the structured fields stop drift between surveyors.

Clear room hierarchy

The building breaks into rooms or areas, each containing its ACM items. The hierarchy is the same in the workflow, the register and the PDF — readers always know where they are.

Material, risk and action tracking

Material assessment scores are calculated from the four HSG264 variables. Recommended action and timescale are recorded against each item alongside the score.

Photo organisation

Photos attach to the ACM they evidence at the point of capture. The report presents them inline against the item rather than in a separate photo plate.

Faster office review

Reviewers see the same structured data the surveyor captured. Review notes attach to the survey internally — never bled into the client-facing PDF.

Professional reporting consistency

Every report from the consultancy shares the same structure, the same scoring presentation and the same evidence layout. The output reads as one consultancy, not several.

Surveyor judgement and compliance responsibility remain with the competent person. AsbestosSurveyPro provides a structured reporting workflow — it does not replace HSG264 competence, UKAS-accredited analysis or the duties of the surveyor and duty-holder under CAR 2012.

Frequently asked questions

Does using this software make a survey HSG264-compliant?

No. Compliance with HSG264 sits with the competent person carrying out the survey. The software structures the workflow and the report so the methodology is captured consistently — judgement remains the surveyor's.

Can the report layout be adjusted to consultancy preferences?

Yes. The PDF carries your branding and consultancy details, with HSG264-aligned sections — register, scoring, evidence, recommendations.

How is evidence linked to findings?

Photos and notes attach to the specific ACM at the point of inspection. The final PDF presents evidence inline against each item rather than in a separate appendix.
