The call comes in and you cannot take the work


Surveying Matters

The call comes in and you cannot take the work

Hi Reader

Wrong discipline. Wrong county. Or simply the wrong week, because you are booked to the end of the month.

So you say no. Maybe a name comes to mind and you pass it on. Usually one does not, and the caller goes back to Google, and you never think about it again.

Work that needs doing. A firm that would gladly do it. And nothing connecting the two except whoever you happen to remember on the day.

Firm membership on Surveyors UK opens shortly, and the referral network will be included for every tier of membership.

Pass on the work you cannot take. Money does not change hands. No commission. No fee. Every firm member, every tier.

The profession has always done this informally. It has never had the infrastructure for it.

Full details in this week's Surveying Matters.

TotaLite: Unboxing to monitoring in under an hour

Our marketplace partner TotaLite is running a webinar. Epco and Ilie take an optical deformation monitoring system from the box to live monitoring inside an hour.

A real project walkthrough, live setup, and the alert logic that separates meaningful movement from background noise. Worth an hour if you work in structural monitoring or ground movement.
