Building Surveyor Review

Undertaking due diligence surveys for the acquisition or disposal or re-financing of assets, Development Monitoring on behalf of tenants and funders, Planned Maintenance Programmes and Reinstatement cost assessments.

I have greatly increased my knowledge in Building pathology and construction technology throughout my year. I have improved my reporting and technical language/terminology through working with more experienced surveyors. My placement has also increased my confidence and organisation in my day to day life.

Yes, as the year progressed I was given the opportunity to be the main point of contact with property managers, organise and undertake inspections and assemble reports for clients.
