摘要

This issue of Journal of Building Survey, Appraisal & Valuation begins with a paper by Michael Lawson, Chief Executive and Graeme Winser, Director of Strategy of Property Risk Inspection which examines the evolution and convergence of big property data and provides a roadmap for the surveying profession and the sectors instructing clients to benefit from modern data processing and innovation in property risk. Michael and Graeme discuss how existing and new technologies, data availability, data aggregation, data storage and geospatial referencing should dramatically improve reporting and recommendations relating to property condition and risk profiling, but that legacy systems, the varying requirements of corporate clients versus private clients and the discontinuities in data are all hampering modernisation of approach.
