Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Building Surveying

Building surveyors are advisors for the property and construction industry, identifying defects and suggesting options for maintenance and repair. They work on the development of new buildings and the restoration of existing properties across residential, commercial, industrial, leisure and heritage projects.

On this course students 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. Students will learn to test and analyse all aspects of building performance, advise on alternative uses of existing buildings, discover how to supervise remediation and refurbishment projects, and how to apply health and safety regulations.

Students will learn to diagnose, investigate, analyse and test all aspects of building performance and deterioration, enabling them to advise on relevant processes, including maintenance, refurbishment and restoration.
