What is building surveying?
There is no simple way to describe the role of a building surveyor, largely due to the broad range of services that are offered by the profession. Building surveyors provide life-cycle services across the industry, from feasibility studies and pre-acquisition commissions right through to upcycling or even the demolition of building assets. We inspect, test, monitor, design and advise on property and construction related matters with the main aim of improving our built environment.
