Surveyor

The nature of a surveyor’s role is varied, with building surveyors generally providing advice on all aspects of construction depending on training, skills, experience and specialisms, including appropriate maintenance regimes and recommendations for repairs. Quantity surveyors manage project costs.

For work on traditional buildings, this can include ensuring that any ongoing work is carried out on schedule, to an appropriate standard, on budget, and in accordance with relevant legislation and building regulations; advising on health and safety, and issues such as energy efficiency, sustainability and other environmental concerns; preparing tenders and other contractual documentation.
