Professional Based Work

You will be given the opportunity to undertake a variety of types of survey from condition surveys, lifecycle condition surveys, schedules of condition, dilapidations, building pathology surveys, party wall works and technical due diligence work.  Working under the guidance of senior staff to enable you to gain experience and knowledge in these areas.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Building Surveyor role we offer can be varied and is dependent on the Client, sector and project we are working for as well as the team for which you will be working.  General Building Surveying duties are listed below and will be provided as far as practicable to ensure breadth of knowledge for gaining successful Chartership through the RICS APC.

• Feasibility Studies
• Design and specification 
• Detailed drawings (CAD not required, but the ability to provide clear mark ups for CAD to produce drawings will be expected)
• Planning applications
• Listed building and conservation area consents
• Building regulations
• Tendering process
• Contract administration
• Measured surveys
• Condition surveys
• Technical due diligence
• Dilapidations

We will push you to achieve the highest standards and expect our graduates to pass their professional review first time. You will be assigned a mentor to support and guide your development and undertake regular training modules throughout the programme, specific to your chartership route.
