Chartered Surveyors n.e.c.

As a Chartered Surveyor, you examine buildings and land in detail to assess their condition and value. You visit sites, take measurements, look for problems like damp or structural damage, and write detailed reports that tell clients what they need to know. You might value a house for a person buying it, assess commercial property for a business, or check whether a building is safe to use.

You work with property owners, developers, architects and local councils, giving them advice about planning, building regulations and property law. You use surveying tools and computers to record accurate measurements and create reports. You might also negotiate property deals, arrange for repairs or improvements, or give expert advice in disputes about property. The job needs careful observation, maths skills and knowledge of building and property law.
