Smart Features and New Technologies at RIOF

At RIOF, quality control and clear communication are at the heart of everything we do. To deliver reliable, timely and actionable results, we combine industry experience with modern technology — turning complex site data into easy-to-understand reports and practical recommendations for clients and stakeholders.

Digital Project Management with LetsBuild We manage projects using LetsBuild, a unified platform that streamlines on-site reporting and real-time progress tracking. By integrating the capabilities of Aproplan and GenieBelt within LetsBuild, our team can:

• Digitise on-site inspections and quality checks for faster, more consistent reporting.
• Track programme progress live to spot delays early and coordinate corrective action.
• Centralise communication between site teams, subcontractors and clients to reduce errors and improve accountability.

The result is better visibility at every stage of the build, fewer surprises at handover and faster resolution of defects or deviations from specification.

Advanced Surveying and Reporting RIOF brings advanced surveying tools to bear on the problems that matter most:

• Drone surveys — We deploy drones to safely access roofs, high facades and other hard-to-reach areas. Aerial imaging speeds up data collection and exposes issues that are difficult to see from ground level.
• Thermal imaging — Infrared cameras help us detect hidden problems such as water leaks, thermal bridging and damaged waterproofing. These non-invasive surveys identify issues early, reducing repair costs and avoiding escalation.
• Risk & safety ratings — To make findings immediately useful, we apply risk and safety rating systems that prioritise defects by severity and urgency. This gives clients a clear roadmap for remediation and risk management.

Why this technology matters for your project Bringing these tools together translates directly into better outcomes for owners, developers and contractors:

• Faster decisions — Real-time data and digital reports allow stakeholders to act quickly when issues arise.
• Improved safety — Drones and non-invasive thermal scans reduce the need for hazardous access and lower onsite risk.
• Clear accountability — Centralised records and standardised reports make responsibilities and progress transparent.
• Cost savings — Early detection of defects
