What are the most modern technologies and tools used by real estate surveyors today?

As of my last update in January 2022, some of the modern technologies and tools used by property surveyors include:

1. Real Estate Evaluation Software: Specialised platforms and software that assist valuers in carrying out accurate property valuations. These may include tools for comparative market analysis, financial modelling and valuation calculations.
2. Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Tools that allow surveyors to visualise and analyse spatial data, which is crucial to understanding the location and environment of a property. This may include data on proximity to services, infrastructure and local market trends.
3. Drones: Drone technology is used to obtain aerial images of properties, which can be valuable for evaluate aspects such as the size of the plot, the structure of the building and the quality of the construction.
4. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): These technologies can enable surveyors to provide virtual tours of properties or overlay additional information on a property through devices such as virtual reality goggles or mobile applications.
5. Big Data and Predictive Analytics: The collection and analysis of large amounts of data can help surveyors identify market trends, anticipate changes in the market, and identify and analyse the house prices and provide valuable information for their assessments.
6. Online Platforms for Benchmarking: Online platforms that allow surveyors to access comparative market data and conduct comparative market analysis in an efficient manner.
7. Online Communication Tools: For the efficient communication with clients and other real estate professionals. This may include e-mail, instant messaging and video conferencing platforms.
8. Blockchain technology: For the management of real estate contracts, transactions and records. Blockchain technology can provide a decentralised and secure record of ownership, which can increase transparency and reduce the possibility of fraud.

It is important to keep in mind that technology is constantly evolving, so there may be new tools and approaches that have emerged since my last update in January 2022. I would recommend checking updated sources or consulting with professionals in the field for the latest information.
