Better evidence in. Better advice out.

Consultants are expected to provide advice that is:

• Scientifically robust 
• Policy-aligned 
• Spatially precise 
• Defensible under scrutiny
   

Yet workflows are often fragmented:

• Field surveys, GIS, and reporting tools don’t align cleanly 
• Habitat mapping varies between projects and surveyors 
• Baselines are hard to reproduce or revisit 
• Monitoring commitments are difficult to resource long-term
   

TerraViso is designed to bring structure, consistency, and continuity to consultancy workflows.

TerraViso acts as a spatial backbone for ecological and environmental work:

• Provides consistent baseline habitat mapping 
• Integrates survey data with imagery and GIS layers 
• Supports biodiversity accounting and scenario testing 
• Enables repeatable monitoring across time
   

It doesn’t replace professional judgement — it strengthens it with clearer evidence.

 1. Stronger baselines with less friction

TerraViso helps consultants establish consistent baselines quickly, even across large or complex sites.

You can:

• Generate habitat and land-cover maps from imagery 
• Use these as a structured starting point for field surveys 
• Align mapping outputs across multiple projects or teams 
• Reduce repetitive manual GIS work
   

Benefit:
More time spent on ecological interpretation — less time rebuilding the same datasets.

2. Better alignment between field surveys and GIS

Field data and GIS often live in separate worlds. TerraViso brings them together.

Use TerraViso to:

• Digitise and manage habitat polygons consistently 
• Link survey observations directly to mapped areas 
• Maintain clear attribute structures for later analysis 
• Reduce rework between survey, mapping, and reporting
   

This improves internal quality control and makes outputs easier to review and defend.

3. Clearer support for BNG and biodiversity metrics

Biodiversity Net Gain and similar frameworks demand spatial precision and auditability.

TerraViso supports consultants by:

• Linking mapped habitats to recognised classification systems 
• Providing structured inputs for biodiversity unit calculations 
• Comparing baseline and post-development scenarios spatially 
• Maintaining a transparent chain from data → map → metric
   

Outcome:
More robust submissions, fewer challenges, and clearer explanations for clients and authorities.

4. Monitoring that scales beyond one-off projects

Monitoring is increasingly part of consultancy scope — but rarely resourced sustainably.

TerraViso enables:

• Creation of time-stamped baselines (“vintages”) 
• Comparison of survey data or imagery across years 
• Identification of real change versus noise 
• Focused follow-up surveys where change is detected
   

This opens the door to more scalable, long-term monitoring services without multiplying site visits.

Consistency across teams and projects

Standardised workflows reduce variability and improve confidence in outputs.

Stronger professional credibility

Clear spatial evidence supports expert judgement and withstands scrutiny.

Faster delivery

Less repetitive GIS work means quicker turnaround without sacrificing quality.

Added value for clients

Consultants can offer clearer baselines, better monitoring, and more transparent reporting.

Baseline & scoping

• Generate initial habitat maps 
• Plan and target field surveys
   

Survey & mapping

• Refine habitats using field data 
• Maintain consistent GIS attributes
   

Assessment

• Support BNG and impact assessments 
• Test scenarios and mitigation options
   

Monitoring

• Compare change over time 
• Provide evidence-led follow-up advice

TerraViso is not a black box. It’s a transparent, professional tool designed to support:

• Ecological judgement 
• Environmental assessment 
• Clear communication with clients and regulators
   

It gives consultants a consistent foundation — while leaving interpretation and decision-making firmly in expert hands.

TerraViso helps environmental and ecological consultants work more consistently, defend their conclusions, and scale their impact — without compromising professional integrity.
