EPC pre-assessments, streamlined.

An EPC pre-assessment is an on-site inspection where the energy assessor records all the property details needed to produce an Energy Performance Certificate. This includes construction type, wall and roof insulation, glazing, heating and hot water systems, lighting, ventilation, and any renewable energy installations. The data is then entered into SAP or RdSAP software to generate the official EPC rating.

The pre-assessment ensures accurate, evidence-based data is collected on site before the EPC calculation is run. Without a thorough site visit, assessors risk making assumptions about construction details, insulation levels, and heating systems that can lead to inaccurate ratings. AnyInspect captures everything on video so you have a permanent record of what you observed.

SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) is used for new-build properties where full construction details are available from plans and specifications. RdSAP (Reduced Data SAP) is used for existing dwellings where some details must be inferred from age, type, and visual inspection. AnyInspect templates are structured to capture the data fields required by both methodologies.

AnyInspect captures building fabric details (wall construction, roof type, floor construction, insulation levels, glazing), heating systems (boiler make, model, age, fuel type, controls), hot water systems, lighting types across all rooms, ventilation (extractor fans, trickle vents, mechanical systems), and any renewable energy installations. All observations are backed by timestamped video and photographs.

AnyInspect lets you record your entire site visit on video while talking through what you see. The AI transcribes your commentary and organises it into structured sections matching the data fields you need for SAP or RdSAP input. Photos of boiler data plates, insulation, and glazing are extracted automatically. You leave site with a complete pre-assessment report instead of scrappy notes.

The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards require rental properties in England and Wales to meet at least an EPC rating of E. AnyInspect helps landlords and assessors document the current energy performance of properties and identify improvement measures. The structured pre-assessment report makes it straightforward to determine what upgrades are needed to achieve compliance.

Part L of the Building Regulations sets conservation of fuel and power requirements for new and existing buildings. AnyInspect captures the construction and energy data needed to assess Part L compliance, including insulation levels, heating efficiency, and ventilation provision. This supports both EPC production and Building Control submissions.

Plans start at £59 per month for individual assessors, with Professional and Enterprise tiers for larger practices. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can run a real EPC pre-assessment and see how the workflow fits before committing.
