There are around 600 chartered surveyors in the country, but there is a high demand for more professionals in the field.
Building surveyors have various responsibilities, but their main aim is improving the built environment.
Their broad scope of services proves their versatility, adaptability, and comprehensive industry knowledge.
They inspect plans and constructions to ensure they are built correctly and issue certificates verifying compliance with building codes and regulations.
Building surveyors can offer compliance advice, assist with renovation planning, and assess building defects for property owners.
Likewise, buying a home is a major investment that takes informed decision-making. Surveyors can assure buyers that they’re getting the best pre-purchase advice available.
Building surveyors provide life-cycle services across the construction industry, such as feasibility studies that consider a project’s practicalities and likelihood of success, and commercial due diligence, which is critical in providing prospective buyers with key information before a transaction.
Across their work, surveyors undertake many types of inspections, such as long-term maintenance planning, pre-acquisition commissions, expert witness work, and general condition surveys.
They can also give legal help: impartial expert evidence, contractual dispute assistance or arbitration, adjudication or mediation services in regard to a construction litigation case.
Building surveyors collaborate with industry professionals such as designers, engineers, and contractors. From contract administration to weather-tightness consulting, it really does take a village.
Surveyors can also help you tackle constantly evolving regulations, deal with historical buildings, and adapt to environmental considerations.
The New Zealand Institute of Building Surveyors (NZIBS) is a national body of skilled, professional building consultants with extensive knowledge and experience in the field, with currently over 200 registered, transitional and student members.
NZIBS offers core module training, national events, and technical resources to assist registered building surveyors and the wider industry with expert professional advice to create a better-built environment.
The Building Officials Institute of New Zealand (BOINZ) is a non-profit charitable organisation that represents over 1200 members engaged in building controls. The Institute strives to raise the status and advance the interests of building surveyors.
Formed in 1967, BOINZ is committed to ensuring the quality of New Zealand’s buildings meets the requirements of the community and their occupiers. Both NZIBS and BOINZ continue to strengthen and support the work of New Zealand’s building surveyors, laying a foundation for a better construction industry nationwide.
