QuickCodes — type shorthand codes and ArboGen expands them to full text automatically. Fully customisable for your most-used species, condition notes, and descriptions, keeping data entry fast and consistent throughout the survey.

RPA calculations — standard calculations undertaken for BS 5837:2012, with advanced automatic RPA calculation for BS 5837:2026, factoring in tree category, life-stage, and canopy spread.

Dripline RPAs — where a dripline RPA is required, note ‘Dripline RPA’ against the tree and click the Dripline RPA button. ArboGen calculates the RPA directly from your recorded canopy spread measurements, with no separate calculation needed.

BNG size class — the correct BNG tree size class is determined and recorded automatically from your DBH measurement, ready for biodiversity net gain assessments without manual lookup.

Pre-populated from your AIA — activities selected in your AIA carry through automatically, so you’re not re-entering work you’ve already done. Add further activities, remove any that aren’t needed, and the AMS stays in step with your impact assessment throughout.

Tree protection and mitigation library — choose from a wide range of pre-built tree protection measures and mitigation methodologies covering the full range of typical site scenarios. Each one comes with the standard wording and structure already in place, ready to adapt to your project.

Reorder with ease — add and reorder methodology sections using a simple interface. Your AMS reads in a logical sequence that matches how the works will actually proceed on site, without manual cutting and pasting.

Staging and phasing tables — build staging and phasing tables for the development quickly, setting out when each protection measure or activity applies across the build programme. Gives contractors and clients a clear, at-a-glance timeline alongside the narrative.

Supervision requirements — specify the supervision requirements for each methodology section using a simple dropdown. Consistent terminology throughout, with no need to remember or retype standard supervision wording.

Automatic supervision schedule — ArboGen builds your supervision schedule directly from the supervision requirements you’ve set, activity by activity. One less document to assemble by hand, and it’s always in sync with the rest of your AMS.

Your branding — set your firm’s fonts, brand colours, and sizing once in the settings tab, applied automatically to every project.

Works with your existing templates — ArboGen is designed to use your existing report templates, so every report goes out exactly as you want it.

Customisable QuickCodes — build a shorthand library to cut down on repetitive note-taking during surveys, for faster and more consistent data entry.

Custom phrasing — if you don’t like the wording in one of ArboGen’s text blocks, set up a replacement using the custom phrasing feature and it’s applied automatically on every export.

Custom dynamic AIA and AMS blocks — build your own reusable dynamic text blocks using the User Blocks tool, for activities and methodologies unique to your practice.
