AI, Leases and small business power in commercial surveying

Chartered commercial surveyor Ola Alade joins me to talk about his route into commercial surveying, why he left landlord-side roles to support small business tenants, and how AI is really showing up in day-to-day surveying work. We cover his journey from biomedical science to the built environment, the realities of commercial leases and rent reviews for SMEs, and the opportunities and risks of AI in surveying, data and professional practice. We also talk about diversity, progression and Ola’s work as an APC counsellor, assessor and chair. 00:00 – Intro and welcome to This Is Surveying 00:36 – Meet Ola Alade: from biomedical science to commercial surveying 02:54 – Early roles at CoStar and NHS Property Services 05:16 – Working with small businesses at The Arch Company and LCP 07:41 – Is AI really ready for property and surveying? 10:03 – Using AI as a second pair of eyes in reports 12:25 – Data, hallucinations and negligence risk in AI tools 14:54 – “What is a surveyor?” – entry routes and confusion about the title 19:42 – Built environment GCSE, outreach and falling into surveying 24:30 – Why Ola founded OlaWill to advise SMEs on leases 26:54 – Diversity, progression and retention in the profession 29:17 – Life as an APC counsellor, assessor and chair 31:42 – Final thoughts and how to connect with Ola Ola on LinkedIn   / mroalade   Olawill olawill.co.uk This Is Surveying is a video podcast from Surveyors UK.
