Frequently asked questions
Building surveying involves inspecting, assessing, and reporting on the condition and structure of buildings. It ensures safety, compliance with regulations, and identifies defects or areas needing maintenance.
The three main types are land surveying, which maps boundaries and terrain; building surveying, which evaluates structures; and structural surveying, which focuses on the integrity and stability of building components.
No—an architect designs buildings and focuses on aesthetics and functionality, while a building surveyor assesses existing structures for safety, defects, and compliance. They often collaborate but have distinct roles.
Building and structural surveying combines the inspection of a building’s overall condition with a detailed analysis of its structural elements like foundations, walls, and roofs. It helps ensure the building is safe and sound.
Common types include Condition Reports, Homebuyer Reports, and Full Building Surveys. The choice depends on the property's age, complexity, and whether major renovations are planned.
It’s essential for identifying hidden defects, ensuring legal compliance, and protecting property investments. Building surveying helps avoid costly surprises and supports informed decision-making.
