Building surveyors are advisors for the property and construction industry, identifying defects and suggesting options for maintenance and repair.

This course will provide you with the skills and knowledge to become a specialist in this field.
You will develop a detailed understanding of architectural styles and influences, the history of buildings and building techniques, the evaluation of building elements, and the performance of building materials.
