Building surveyors are advisors for the property and construction industry, advising clients about the design, construction, maintenance and repair of buildings.
This degree focuses on the key areas of a building surveyor's work: building performance, regulatory compliance, specification, supervision and management of construction works and building pathology. These areas encompass a range of activities, including surveys, inspections, evaluations and the maintenance and the remediation of defects.
You’ll focus on the procurement, contract and project management of building works, with an emphasis on both new build and the extension and refurbishment of existing buildings. In addition, you’ll develop an applied understanding of building technology, contract management and procurement, conversion, adaptation and care of buildings and heritage and conservation.
Who is this course designed for?
This course is aimed at professionals and graduates wishing to pursue a career in the property and construction industry, on route to Chartered Surveyor or Chartered Building Engineer status. It's suitable for prospective students who don't necessarily have a background in property or construction, acting as a fast-track conversion course for those with an unrelated undergraduate degree (or professional qualification) to obtain an accredited route into the industry. In addition, this course is suitable for property and construction professionals working in industry, who wish to specialise in building surveying.
