The new standard, defined

Evidence-led site capture, engineered for the handoff: survey → design → install. The difference isn’t “more pages” — it’s navigation, structure, and measurable inputs that make decisions easy to justify.

Navigation

Find the answer in seconds

  • Icon-based sections so you can jump straight to what matters
  • Consistent order and labeling across packs
  • Evidence placed next to the decision — not buried in notes
Structured data

Specification-first, not vague

  • Measurements captured to the agreed scope and presented consistently
  • Room-by-room tables where required (e.g., heat loss inputs)
  • Assumptions and constraints made visible for sign-off clarity
Context

Evidence with real-world meaning

  • Property context up front (e.g., location/site context where available)
  • Photos grouped by category so installers can verify quickly
  • Built to help homeowners feel the installer is getting it right

Portal + integrations (coming soon)

We’re building a client portal and data integrations so installers can book, track, and hand over packs with less admin — and keep one source of truth from booking to install.

Portal

One place for bookings + downloads

  • Book jobs, see status, and download delivered packs
  • Secure links for installer packs and customer-friendly PDFs
  • Designed for fast handoff and fewer “where is it?” messages
API

CRM-ready JSON + webhooks

  • Push booking data into your CRM automatically (JSON)
  • Attach structured job data back onto existing bookings
  • Built to fit installer workflows (not generic forms)
Heat loss

Integrations with heat loss software

  • Consistent field structure for reliable inputs
  • Export/import options to reduce re-typing
  • Assumptions documented so results are explainable
Database

Installer datasheets & reference library

  • Installer-facing data sheets and standards library
  • Repeatable evidence requirements by job type
  • Built to reduce callbacks and clarify sign-off

What you get, in practice

Evidence-led packs, designed to reduce back-and-forth between survey, design, and install—and to make it easier for installers to explain decisions clearly to the homeowner. Examples are anonymised to show layout and level of detail.

Evidence

Photo + measurement coverage

  • Clear photos for key constraints
  • Measurements and siting notes
  • Electrical evidence where required
Format

Installer-ready structure

  • Consistent sections and labeling
  • Constraints summarized in plain language
  • Designed to reduce back-and-forth
Clarity

Easy to justify, easy to trust

  • Evidence presented next to the decision
  • Assumptions and constraints made visible
  • Less guesswork when questions come up
Privacy

Privacy-first by default

  • Client-identifiable details are not published
  • Sample packs are anonymised
  • Consent required for any public images

The pack is the handoff

A survey pack isn't a report. It's the thread that connects site → design → install → sign-off.

If the structure doesn't match installer workflows, the pack gets filed instead of used. Questions go unanswered. Photos get requested again. Install dates slip.

Vertex Surveys packs are designed around one question: what does the next person in the chain need to move forward without friction?

That's why sections follow a fixed order. Why constraints are summarized up front. Why photos are grouped by category, not chronology. The structure is invisible infrastructure—installers shouldn't think about the pack, they should just open it and know what to do next.

The journey behind Vertex

Built from experience, not theory.

Vertex Renewable Energy Surveys was built from experience, not theory. My career in renewables started on site, surveying real homes with real constraints. During my time in the field, one problem kept showing up again and again: the surveys weren’t good enough.

Read the full story

Too often they were unclear, poorly structured, and hard to use. Installers were left asking questions that should already have been answered. Designers were reworking data that should have been reliable the first time. Customers were handed reports they couldn’t understand or trust.

I didn’t want to accept that as “normal”. Over time, my focus shifted from collecting data to improving how that data was structured, presented, and used. I began refining survey layouts, improving photo workflows, and rethinking how information should move from survey to design to install.

Eventually, that thinking became Vertex Surveys. Every survey is designed to remove friction, reduce uncertainty, and make the installer’s job easier.

This isn’t about volume or shortcuts. It’s about doing the fundamentals properly and presenting them to a standard that reflects their importance. Vertex Surveys exists to raise the bar for what a renewable energy survey should be.

Simple. Clear. Repeatable.

If your installer has booked a survey

We’re there to capture the evidence your installer needs to design and install with confidence. Here’s what to expect, and how to help the visit run smoothly.

On the day

What we do

  • Take measurements relevant to the booked scope
  • Photograph key constraints and existing equipment
  • Document notes so decisions are easy to explain later
Access

What helps us move faster

  • Clear access to the meter and consumer unit (if applicable)
  • Access to plant areas (loft hatch, boiler cupboard, utility area) where relevant
  • Outdoor access for location context (e.g., for heat pump siting or PV roof views)
Privacy

Photos are evidence, not marketing

  • Photos are used to document the site for design/install
  • Client-identifiable reports and images aren’t published publicly
  • Any public use would require consent
Questions

Changes, access issues, or concerns

  • If you need to reschedule, contact your installer first
  • If access is limited, tell us early so we can plan the visit
  • You can also reach us at info@vertex-surveys.co.uk
