You’ll learn a range of technical and professional skills, including how to convert and adapt buildings, and perform surveys and valuations. This course has been validated to include an optional Sandwich Placement year in industry. Building surveyors advise clients about the use and performance of their buildings, including brand-new builds as well as existing, historic or listed structures. Our course will develop your skills in all aspects of surveying buildings. You’ll cover their design, specification and performance. You’ll also learn about inspection and analysis, how to recognise and tackle defects, and how to manage projects.

You’ll use industry-standard equipment to learn how to conduct site surveys and property inspections.

We have close links with several professional institutions. This, plus contact with local firms, ensures you’ll stay up to date with industry practice.

Our course is recognised by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
