What you’ll be doing
As a student building surveyor, you need to enjoy being out of the office.

Our services include party wall, dilapidations, technical due diligence, surveys, landlord and tenant relations and compliance. Our scope is unlimited, as is our potential. We are one of the leading providers of building surveying services within the UK.  If you’re looking for a varied project portfolio, which frequently takes you out of the office and enjoy being part of a large, social team then this is the discipline for you.
