No self-serve search engine to browse alone

Verification, not just a directory listing

Anyone can compile a spreadsheet of surveyor contacts. RISE checks every provider before they can accept a single booking, so operators aren't the ones doing the vetting.

Professional certifications and class-body accreditation checked
Business registration confirmed against local records
Valid professional insurance on file
Ongoing rating and re-verification after every completed survey
Pricing

Providers are paid directly through RISE once a survey is completed and confirmed, with a small success fee applied only on completed bookings.
