Building Survey
The RICS Home Survey Level 3 — the Building Survey — is the most detailed of the RICS home survey levels: a full narrative on the property's construction, condition and defects. It's also the most time-consuming to write. Plynth drafts that narrative from the evidence you capture on site, in your firm's own template.
What a Level 3 survey covers
A Level 3 survey provides a detailed assessment of a property's construction and condition, with analysis of defects and advice on repairs. It's the right level for older, larger or altered properties, or wherever a buyer needs the full picture rather than a summary.
The depth is what makes Level 3 reports valuable — and what makes the write-up long. A thorough inspection can produce hundreds of photos and observations that all need to end up in the right section, in the right words.
How Plynth helps
Plynth drafts the full narrative from the photos, voice notes and text you capture as you inspect, organised into your firm's own Level 3 template and house style. The evidence syncs automatically across your devices, so the draft is ready to work on when you are.
You stay the author: review the draft, adjust the analysis and wording wherever you want, and sign off. Plynth cuts up to 70% of the writing time, not the professional judgement.
