Sorbus approach
Start with a clear brief.
The useful survey begins with the decision it needs to support: maintenance, safety, development, asset management or a recurring inspection program.
Tree surveys and inventories
Tree surveys and inventories.
Sorbus creates structured tree information with photographs, maps and schedules for properties, portfolios, development sites and ongoing management.

Capture the details that matter.
Tree records can bring together identity, dimensions, condition, photographs, observations, priorities and recommended works in a format that remains useful after the visit.
Sorbus approach
Use the survey again.
A good inventory can support future inspections, management planning, mapped outputs, schedules and professional reports rather than being rebuilt from scratch.
Plan your site inventory
Make the brief fit the property.

Useful answers
Questions to ask
before the site visit.
What is the difference between a tree survey and an inventory?
A survey is the act of gathering information on site; an inventory is the organised record that can be searched, updated and used for later decisions.
Can you provide a map and schedule?
Maps and schedules can be included where they suit the agreed scope and the available site information.
Can the survey support development work?
Yes, a survey may form part of development advice, subject to the project brief and the information required.
Before the site visit
Make the brief clear.
Send the location, the question you need answered, and any available photographs, plans or previous reports. Agree the purpose and deliverables before arranging work.
