Building Surveyors are responsible for assessing plans, conducting inspections, issuing building permits such as occupancy permits and interpreting building and construction regulations for residential and commercial buildings. They require skills in building legislation and auditing, building codes, sustainable construction techniques and materials, fire safety design, inspection procedures, building services and professional practice. This program enables students to: plan, implement and manage the delivery of efficient and effective building surveying strategies over the course of the construction process; interpret the appropriate building documentation and regulations; assess building construction documentation for compliance with building legislations, codes and standards; communicate with technical professionals such as builders, architects and engineers regarding design objectives.
