You've found the plot.
Before you commit — know what's underneath.
Ground problems don't appear in the listing. Contaminated soil, made ground, a high water table, poor bearing capacity — they show up later, when you're already committed and the cost of fixing them is yours to bear.
AIGEOREPORT gives you a preliminary ground risk report for any UK site in minutes — from coordinates alone. Geology, contamination risk, groundwater conditions, ground hazards. From £39. Before you make an offer.
Planning-stage screening only — not a substitute for a Phase 1 investigation or professional engineering advice.
From £39 (~$49) · No site visit · No appointment · No waiting · Editable Word document to your inbox
Built by a PhD geotechnical engineer with extensive industry and academic experience.
Before you spend thousands investigating a plot — spend £39 finding out whether it's worth investigating at all.
Most people discover the ground problem after they have already committed.
A self-builder spending £500,000 on a project typically has no professional telling them to check the ground before they buy the plot. A small investor making an offer on development land doesn't know what they don't know. By the time the ground becomes a problem — a planning condition requiring investigation, a structural engineer's foundation warning, a contamination assessment — you've already paid the solicitor, the surveys, and in some cases the deposit.
Make an offer on a plot with no ground context — then discover it is contaminated, filled or on made ground after exchange
Pay £800 and wait 2 weeks for a Phase 1 desk study on a site you might not even proceed with
Receive a pre-commencement planning condition requiring ground investigation after permission is granted — delaying your start by months
Find out about a high water table or poor bearing capacity when the structural engineer produces the foundation design — too late to renegotiate
Know the geology, contamination risk, groundwater conditions and ground hazards for any plot — in minutes, before you make an offer
Screen a site for £39 (~$49) — a fraction of the £550–£800 cost of a formal Phase 1 desk study
Understand the ground risk before instructing a Phase 1 desk study — so the investigation you commission is targeted, not exploratory
Make the offer, or walk away — knowing the ground before you commit a penny to solicitors or surveys
Do you need a full site investigation yet?
A detailed site investigation is essential — but only once you know the site is worth pursuing. Commissioning one too early is one of the most common and costly mistakes in early-stage project planning.
The cost
A Phase 1 desk study costs £550–£800 + VAT. A full Phase 2 site investigation costs £3,000–£12,000+ — before you know if the site is viable.
The uncertainty
Early in a project, ground conditions are unknown. Committing to fieldwork before you have basic site context is a significant risk.
The gap
Between "I've found a site" and "I'm ready to commission surveys" there's a decision to make. AIGEOREPORT fills that gap.
Use AIGEOREPORT first. Get the ground context you need to make an informed decision about a site — before you spend money on solicitors, surveys or formal investigation. The step that tells you whether the next step is worth taking.
Three steps. Ten minutes. Delivered.
No site visits, no complex tools, no waiting. Just coordinates and a project purpose — and a professional planning-stage report lands in your inbox.
Enter your site coordinates
Paste in your latitude and longitude (decimal degrees). Add the project purpose and any optional context you have.
AIGEOREPORT gets to work
Our system draws on public geological, geotechnical and environmental data to assemble your site context report.
Download your report
A fully editable .docx file lands in your inbox. Review it, share it with your solicitor or structural engineer, and use it to decide whether the site is worth committing to.
Desktop site screening that actually fits your workflow
Built for self-builders and land investors who need to understand the ground before they commit — not weeks later when the investigation arrives.
Fast turnaround
Not weeks. Generate an early-stage site context report in minutes — with just coordinates and a project purpose.
No site visit required
Fully remote desktop assessment using public data. No fieldwork, no surveys, no travel costs.
Fully editable .docx
A structured Word document you can read, annotate and share with your solicitor, structural engineer or planning consultant.
Screen one site or many
Evaluate a single plot or screen several before deciding which one is worth committing to.
A fraction of the cost
From £39 (aprox. $45) per site — vs. £550–£800 + VAT for a formal Phase 1 desk study.
Ready-to-use documentation
Use it to decide whether the site is worth pursuing — before you instruct a solicitor, commission surveys or spend money you cannot get back.
Professionals are already using it to avoid costly mistakes
Used by self-builders, land investors and mining professionals. No competitor generates a geotechnical screening report from coordinates alone.
Highly valuable for infrastructure siting decisions — especially for mills and tramlines. This kind of context early in the process is exactly what we need.
Your tool is outstanding. Geotechnical reports like yours would have been extremely important in the Mount Nansen area of Yukon. They put their mill in an area where it had to be abandoned due to permafrost — this tool would have flagged that risk at the planning stage.
For self-builders and land investors making a decision without a professional team
Most people buying a plot — whether a self-builder or a small investor — have no professional telling them to check the ground before they commit. That gap is what AIGEOREPORT closes.
Self-builders buying a single plot
You've found a plot on Plotfinder or Rightmove. You're about to commit your life savings to a six-figure project. You have no professional team telling you to check the ground. We are the first step that changes that.
Ground problems you didn't know about are now your problemSmall investors & speculative developers
You're comparing multiple plots before committing to one. Screen each one quickly to understand the ground risk — so you focus your time and money on the site that is actually viable.
Committing to the wrong site is expensive and slow to undoUse this tool for
