What is a building surveyor?
Building surveyors work onsite during the construction of new buildings, and they also help to maintain older buildings. The main task of a building surveyor is to advise construction workers on design, maintenance, repair, structure, and restoration of a building. The professional advice provided by a building surveyor is used by contractors, investors, and construction crews alike.
Building Surveyors are highly trained professionals who provide professional services to commercial companies, construction clients, central and local government, private individuals and property related consultants. Offering expert advice on all aspects of land, property and construction they are central to decision making on all property and construction matters. Building Surveyors work in many areas of construction and property and no description of the services provided can be exhaustive enough. Building surveying firms, for example, are involved in areas such as project management, planning and expert witness. Building surveyors also work in building control departments of local authorities or specialized areas such as conservation.
