Building surveyors provide professional advice on all aspects of property and construction. They work on site with new buildings and are concerned with the aftercare and performance of existing buildings.

This is a very wide field and can include advising on various aspects of buildings at different stages, including:

design;
maintenance;
repair;
refurbishment;
restoration.
The nature of the work can range from the design of large, multimillion-pound structures to modest adaptations and repairs, and can sometimes include working with buildings of architectural or historic importance.

Building surveyors may be called upon to give evidence in court on cases where building regulations have been breached.

Typical work activities
Building surveyors work in many areas of property and construction making the work diverse and rarely routine.

Tasks typically involve:

advising clients on schemes and projects and determining requirements;
preparing scheme designs with costings, programmes for completion of projects and specification of works;
preparing documents for tender and advising on the appointment of contractors, other designers and procurement routes;
determining the condition of existing buildings, identifying and analysing defects, including proposals for repair;
advising on energy efficiency, environmental impact and sustainable construction;
advising on the preservation/conservation of historic buildings;
advising on management and supervision of maintenance of buildings;
dealing with planning applications and advising on property legislation and building regulations;
assessing and designing buildings to meet the needs of people with disabilities;
advising on construction design and management regulations;
negotiating dilapidations (when there is a legal liability for a property's condition of disrepair);
carrying out feasibility studies;
advising on the health and safety aspects of buildings;
advising on boundary and rights of light disputes and party wall procedures;
preparing insurance assessments and claims.
