RICS Building Surveying Conference 2025

Our Building Surveying team had an invaluable time at the RICS Building Surveying Conference!

It was great opportunity to connect with fellow Building Surveyors and come together to address the industry’s latest developments.

This year’s conference focused on some of the most pressing topics in Building Surveying, including:

·        Building regulations updates
·        How contract administrators can avoid disputes
·        The latest in fire safety legislation
·        Common defects encountered by Surveyors
·        Key issues surrounding retrofit and future-proofing homes

One of our Building Surveyors, Jack O'Brien, shared:

‘As a recently Chartered member of RICS it was good experience for me to network and an opportunity to feel part of the wider profession.’

Thanks to RICS for hosting such an insightful event. We look forward to next year!

What is Building Surveying?

Building Surveyors are responsible for assessing the quality of buildings, from houses to public and commercial properties. They examine the condition of buildings and advise on ways to improve them.

The building surveyor role requires you to wear many hats. These include safety analyst in the form of carrying out structural and internal inspections to make sure a building is safe. You’ll also need to be a quality controller to ensure a building is fit for human habitation, as well as understanding energy standards and the history and heritage of older buildings.
