When I built GeoScreen, the goal was straightforward: take the datasets a competent geotechnical engineer would check and automate the interrogation so nothing gets missed under time pressure. The platform launched with a core stack: a set of geohazard ratings built on BGS geology, EA flood mapping, and heritage and ecology datasets. But after running

In construction, ground risk is one of the biggest sources of cost and uncertainty. Get it right early — before land is acquired, before planning
