Building Surveyor
A Building Surveyor looks at building structures to make sure they meet regulations and building codes. You’ll make sure they are safe and might check other considerations such as energy efficiency, functionality or accessibility. Building Surveyors assess plans for future buildings and provide feedback to designers and engineers. You might also inspect buildings that are already constructed and present your findings and recommendations for improvement.
Building Surveyors will usually work on a number of projects at once so you’ll need to be organised. You’ll be liaising with other industry professionals such as architects, local councils and builders so you’ll need to be a good communicator. Building Surveyors need keen observational skills and an eye for detail. You’ll have to be capable of writing detailed reports and performing a range of administrative tasks.
