For Surveyors & Mechanics

Your expertise is the product. SurveyOS is the infrastructure.

You inspect vessels for a living. You flag issues other people miss. You write reports that have to stand up to lawyers, lenders, underwriters, and buyers. SurveyOS is the field-first platform that treats your inspection as the source of truth — and produces every report format your clients need from that one pass.

Built alongside working surveyors and marine contractors across Florida, Panama, and the Caribbean.

The surveyor workflow

Built around how you actually work.

Not a forms app. Not a CRM with a checklist bolted on. A platform designed from the engine room outward — by people who watched surveyors work and asked what slowed them down.

Before the dock

Templates that match your work

Inboard diesel sportfish. Center console outboard. Classic sailboat. Catamaran. Start from a template calibrated to the vessel profile — or build your own and save it to your firm. Never scroll through a checklist meant for a different boat.

On the vessel

One checkpoint at a time

Large-tap tablet UI designed for an engine room, not a desk. Photos attach inline. Measurements captured with units. Offline by default — sync when you walk back to signal. Findings flagged as you find them; the report writes itself behind you.

Back at the desk

Review. Freeze. Deliver.

Desktop review shows the inspection end-to-end. Filter by severity, by impact type, by component. Add a cover letter. Click to issue — one for the mechanic, one for the buyer, one for the insurance underwriter. Each with its own SHA-256 content hash.

After delivery

Work orders. Follow-ups. Supersession.

Convert findings to estimate lines or work-order lines without retyping. Complete work, service history writes itself. Reinspect later? Supersede the old finding — the lineage is preserved, the original report stays intact.

Use cases

Whoever does the work, however you work.

⚖️

Licensed marine surveyor

Pre-purchase, condition & valuation, damage. Three clients, three report formats, one inspection. Your professional judgment, defensibility-first.

🔧

Independent marine mechanic

Mechanic assessment reports that convert to work orders without retyping. Service history grows with every completed job, per component, per vessel.

🏢

Small survey firm

Multiple surveyors, shared templates, shared standards library. Every report on the firm's letterhead with the surveyor's license on the signature line.

🎯

Private marine contractor

Surveyor + mechanic + broker hats, blended in the same user. Role-aware permissions mean you issue the reports you're licensed to issue, nothing more.

📋

Field inspector

Capture the data, leave the report authorship to the licensed surveyor. Clear role separation, no accidental over-reach, full audit trail on every checkpoint.

🚢

Haul-out yard

Hull-zone inspections with diagram-based annotation. Zincs, shaft wear, cutless bearing play — captured at the pressure wash, rolled into the owner's maintenance record.

Pain points, solved

The parts of surveying nobody should be doing in 2026.

Before

Typing the same finding three times for three different reports

With SurveyOS

Write it once. Reports compose automatically from the same findings, filtered by scope.

Before

Photos going missing between tablet, email attachments, and the final PDF

With SurveyOS

SHA-256 anchored at capture. Frozen at issuance. No photo ever gets lost or substituted.

Before

Clients asking you to edit an issued report

With SurveyOS

Reports are immutable once issued. New version supersedes the old; both remain in the record with clear lineage.

Before

A lawyer pulling apart your language in a dispute

With SurveyOS

Observation, inferred cause, and recommendation are separate structured fields — not a paragraph open to interpretation.

Before

Chasing standards references for each finding

With SurveyOS

Attach ABYC, NAMS, SAMS, or OEM references by family and key. No copyrighted text. Your report stays clean.

Before

Explaining why you didn't inspect something

With SurveyOS

NOT_INSPECTED and NOT_ACCESSIBLE with required reasons are first-class. Items never silently disappear.

"The inspection I used to type up for four hours after leaving the marina is ready before the client's coffee is cold."
Jose Valencia Private Marine Contractor · Miami, FL

Your work. Your license. Your reputation.

SurveyOS is built to protect all three — and save you half a day of typing on every inspection.
