Save Time and Reduce Costs: Up to 80% Faster Asbestos Survey Reporting with Octfolio

When surveyors spend as much time on reports as on-site inspections, something is wrong. Most PCBUs and Asset Owners don't realise they're paying for this. Octfolio gives that time back, so your survey budget isn't spent on paperwork.

Why it matters

Reporting shouldn't cost as much as the survey

In the case study above, traditional reporting took surveyors 240 – 260 hours, almost equal to the total time spent on-site. For most PCBUs and Asset Owners, that's a cost hiding in plain sight. Here's where that time and budget goes instead.

The hours saved on reporting go straight back into your survey programme

Octfolio automates reporting, so it takes minutes instead of hours. Surveyors spend more time on-site, covering more assets and identifying more risk. With built-in validation and mandatory fields, reports are accurate the first time, so there's no costly re-work pulling that time back out of your programme.

The same budget covers more of your portfolio

Lower reporting costs mean you can survey more assets for the same spend, or redirect the savings directly to asbestos removal, reducing risk across your entire portfolio. That's a meaningful shift in what your compliance budget actually achieves.
