Course Content
The course themes include: building pathology, construction technology and environmental services, contract administration, design and specification, surveying techniques and principles, legal and regulatory compliance, commercial management of construction, conservation and restoration, measurement of land and property, and quantification and costing of construction works.
In the first year you will be introduced to the fundamental topics of building design and the construction process, which are essential to practitioners in all of the construction professions, and an understanding of what a Building Surveyor does.
In the second year you will focus on the practical aspects of what a building surveyor needs to know regarding building pathology, defect diagnosis and remedies. Construction law, conservation and adaptation of buildings also feature heavily at this level.
In your final year you will focus on topics such as contract management, historic buildings, urban regeneration, and facilities and asset management.
You will find that your course is taught using lectures, seminars, tutorials, laboratories, workshops and studio sessions. These will be supervised by academic and technical support staff. In addition, your personal tutor will review and discuss your progress with you and will be available for advice.
You will work with staff on real-world problems from industry, commerce and research groups, as you would in professional practice; this means that you develop all of the professional skills at the same time as you learn the technical content of your degree. Help and guidance is given to enable you to successfully complete your post degree Assessment of Professional Competence by the RICS Regional Training Advisor.
