PROPERTY RISK INTELLIGENCE · SOUTH AFRICA

One clear view.
Of the asset.
And how it’s run.

A complete, current picture of South African commercial property risk — for the people who own, occupy, manage and insure it. Independent site surveys, measured LiDAR records and Accurion Smart Ops connect the asset with day-to-day operations.

01 / OUR SERVICES

Understand the asset.
Stay close to the risk.

Start with a practical site inspection and a measured property record. Extend that insight into daily operations with monitoring, property-specific training and incident guidance.

01 / INSPECT

Independent risk surveys

Detailed on-site assessment of construction, occupancy, protection and exposure, with clear photographic evidence and practical underwriting recommendations.

  • Fire protection and life safety
  • Property use and physical condition
  • Prioritised risk improvements
02 / MEASURE

LiDAR asset scanning

An accurate, measured record of the property’s layout, installations and physical condition — giving stakeholders a common ground truth.

  • Detailed capture of the physical asset
  • A current reference for site discussions
  • Clarity beyond estimates and old plans
03 / MONITOR

Accurion Smart Ops

Always-on monitoring through a site’s existing cameras, supported by training built from its risk findings and step-by-step incident response guidance.

  • Operational and behavioural risk flags
  • Training for the people on shift
  • Guided actions when incidents happen
Explore the three modules
Survey depth. Practical recommendations.

Our site observations cover electrical installations, LPG, solar and inverters, machinery, security, storage and housekeeping — alongside fire protection, escape routes and neighbouring exposures.

ACCURION SMART OPS

The other
364 days.

The survey establishes the foundation. Risks can develop between visits: a blocked fire exit in peak season, unsafe hot work on a night shift or a generator refuelled in the wrong place. Smart Ops brings those behaviours into view.

ONE PLATFORM / THREE MODULES

Turn site findings into an ongoing loop of observation, learning and action.

01 / SEE

Always-on monitoring

Use the site’s existing CCTV to flag fire, security and operational risks as behaviours change.

  • Continuous behavioural risk detection
  • Timestamped, traceable evidence
  • Visibility beyond the survey day
02 / LEARN

Property-specific training

The Course Builder turns each property’s actual risk findings into relevant learning for its staff.

  • Content matched to the site’s risk profile
  • Text, audio, video and role-play formats
  • Practical guidance for on-shift teams
03 / ACT

Guided incident response

Step-by-step procedures draw on the policy’s own conditions to guide staff when an incident happens.

  • Clear actions in the right sequence
  • A record of actions and supporting evidence
  • Structured information for claims review
From a risk flag to a practical prompt.

Real-time operator guidance can draw on the site’s training, reaching staff through phone, radio or earpiece so they can act on the finding.

Discuss a Smart Ops pilot

Smart Ops complements the survey foundation. Pilot scope, camera suitability and site requirements are agreed with the team.

02 / INDUSTRIES & OCCUPANCIES

Different properties.
One disciplined approach.

Across the full range of commercial property, we consider how an asset is built, occupied and operated — and what that means for everyone who shares the risk.

01

Warehousing & logistics

Warehouses, distribution facilities and cold stores.

02

Industrial & manufacturing

Factories, assembly plants, machinery and operational facilities.

03

Petrol stations

Forecourts, fuel storage and associated retail operations.

04

Hotels & hospitality

Hotels, restaurants and accommodation properties.

05

Game lodges & agriculture

Lodges, farm buildings, storage and rural operations.

06

Renewable energy

Solar and wind farms and their supporting installations.

07

Retail & offices

Shopping centres, office parks and business properties.

08

Residential & mixed-use

Complexes, shared occupancies and property portfolios.

03 / THE SURVEY PROCESS

From instruction
to informed action.

A clear scope, a practical inspection and a report that makes the findings easy to understand.

01

Define the brief

Receive the instruction and agree scope and fees, considering sum insured, occupancy, complexity and travel.

02

Inspect the site

Coordinate with the broker and site representative, then inspect in person and capture observations and photographs.

03

Assess & report

Prepare a structured report with risk grading where required, recommendations and photographic evidence in the agreed format.

04

Clarify next steps

Support clarification queries, re-visits and updates to reflect completed improvements where requested.

04 / EVIDENCE & DELIVERABLES

One ground truth.
Shared understanding.

Tenants, landlords, facilities managers, brokers, insurers and reinsurers can work from one clear view of the asset and how it’s run.

Insurers receive structured risk findings, photographic context and defensible recommendations. LiDAR and Smart Ops extend the picture through the services agreed for each property.

Discuss your reporting requirements

Deliverables depend on the agreed services and scope. Survey reports can align with insurer templates and risk grading methods. Site observations do not replace specialist testing or statutory certification.

01

Property & occupancy overview

Construction, use, layout, installations and material exposures.

02

Protection & risk observations

Fire, life safety, equipment, services and security findings.

03

Photographs & recommendations

Clear site evidence, prioritised improvements and practical rationale.

04

Measured LiDAR asset record

A detailed physical reference of the property where scanning is commissioned.

05

Smart Ops risk intelligence

Timestamped risk flags, site-specific training and guided incident records within the agreed Smart Ops scope.
