Record of Condition (ROC)

Written by Sven Poppelmann

What is a Record of Condition?

A Record of Condition (ROC) documents the state of your land before, during, and after a third party carries out works under a wayleave, easement, or similar access agreement. It gives you an audit trail you can rely on when claiming reinstatement or disputing damage.

Setting up a works record

From your organisation menu, go to Record of Condition. Click New Works and fill in:

  • Agreement type - Wayleave, Easement, Developer access, or Other

  • Name - a short label for the works (e.g. "Gas main replacement - North field")

  • Farm - which farm the works affect

  • Review cadence - how often inspections are expected: One-off, Monthly, or Quarterly

Works can be in one of four states: Active, On hold, Completed, or Cancelled.

Running an inspection

Each works record holds a sequence of inspections. Three types are supported:

  • Baseline - condition before any works begin

  • Interim - condition check during active works

  • Handback - condition at completion and reinstatement

Create a new inspection, set the inspection date, and add observations on the map. Save as Draft while you are still gathering [[company/evidence|evidence]], or Submit when the inspection is complete.

Recording observations

Inside an inspection, tap or click on the map to add an observation. Five observation kinds are available:

  • Photo pin - a geotagged photo attached to a map location

  • Damage area - a polygon marking a damaged area with severity (High, Medium, Low)

  • Concern - a flagged issue with a description and severity

  • Measurement - a distance or area measurement with notes

  • Note - a free-text annotation pinned to a location

Observations are shown as pins on the map with colour-coded severity so the inspection report gives a clear visual summary of condition.

Generating an [[company/evidence|evidence]] pack

Once an inspection is submitted, you can generate an [[company/evidence|evidence]] pack. The pack includes the inspection details, all observations with photos and map locations, and the severity summary. Use this when liaising with the works contractor or submitting a reinstatement claim.

Portfolio overview

The ROC overview page (accessible from the organisation menu) lists all active works across every farm in your organisation. Each row shows the farm, works name, agreement type, number of inspections completed, the date of the most recent inspection, and the next due date. Use this to make sure inspections are happening on schedule across your portfolio.

Tips

  • Always create a Baseline inspection before works start - it is your only objective record of pre-works condition

  • Submit inspections rather than leaving them as drafts; submitted inspections are locked and timestamped

  • Use Photo pins liberally - photos are the most persuasive [[company/evidence|evidence]] in a reinstatement dispute

  • Set the review cadence to match what the agreement specifies, so the portfolio overview flags when an inspection is overdue
