Building Surveying

About this course

Building surveying is a profession built on technical knowledge, professional judgement, and a detailed understanding of how buildings work, how they fail, and how they can be maintained, adapted, or restored. Building surveyors advise clients across the full life cycle of property, from the investigation of defects in existing structures to the management of new construction and the sensitive handling of heritage assets. It is a discipline where science, law, economics, and practical expertise meet, making it one of the most versatile professions in the built environment sector. This four-year full-time programme at Nottingham Trent University covers the breadth of knowledge that professional building surveyors need. You will study construction technology, materials science, building pathology, and the identification and analysis of defects in a wide range of building types. Contract a
