Day-to-day operating brief

What Building Surveyor work looks like in practice

A Building Surveyor assesses building fabric and may prepare defect reports, maintenance plans, specifications or administer refurbishment work. Terms should identify property types, service lines, inspection access, intrusive work, drawings, consultants, tendering, contract administration, certificates, travel and professional standards. Formal duties and certifications must match the actual appointment; the employee should not infer hidden condition or advise outside competence. Defect diagnosis should link observed symptoms, building history and plausible mechanisms while identifying investigation still required. The surveyor may prepare schedules of condition, planned maintenance and repair details for occupied or historic buildings. Employers should define use of drones, ladders, opening-up and specialist testing, each subject to access and competence. During project administration, records should separate observation, contractor explanation, client instruction and formal certification. File handover should include survey notes, photographs, marked plans and correspondence supporting professional conclusions, not merely the final client-facing document.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Inspect buildings and diagnose defects.
Prepare reports schedules and specifications.
Coordinate specialists tenders and projects.
