​

Is there Artificial intelligence (AI) behind GetHouseSurvey.ie?

Powering GetHouseSurvey.ie is what we call our Surveyor Assignment Machine, or SAM. SAM takes several factors into account when offering and assigning jobs to surveyors. Factors include location of property, areas covered by the Surveyor, previous Surveyor feedback rating, previous Surveyor turnaround time as well as many more.

​

Why would / am I being offered surveys outside of areas I said I cover?

SAM is always trying to learn and ensure we meet customer’s needs. If we have low coverage or cannot assign to the local Surveyor, SAM will make a second-round offer to surveyors on the periphery to try get a match.

​

Accepting offers outside of your areas boosts your Surveyor rating and improves the chances of getting first round offers in the future.

​

How many Surveyors are on-board?

Limited places are available country wide to ensure adequate coverage but maintain high quality service and value for the professionals that are part of the team. We are already recruiting around the country. However, we need more Surveyors to have quality coverage. Sign up today to find out more.

​

How much does it cost to sign up to the platform as a Surveyor?

To sign up to GetHouseSurvey.ie as a Surveyor it will only cost €20 per month on a subscription basis. Getting one survey alone from the platform will instantly cover your years subscription.

​

Why is there a subscription cost as a Surveyor?

The biggest issue we foresee is those Surveyors “committing” to participate but failing to actually be active on the platform. This has a negative impact on both the buyers looking for a quick response and the Surveyors that are actually active on the platform.​
