What is a Building Surveyor?

Building Surveyors are Registered Building Practitioners with the Building Practitioners Board.

Under the Building Act a private building surveyor may be appointed to carry out all or any of the following functions under this Act:

(a) the issuing of building permits;
(b) the carrying out of inspections of buildings and building work under Part 4;
(c) the issuing of occupancy permits and temporary approvals under Part 5.

The Building Commission has a really great explanation of what a Building Surveyor is and their role in the building and renovating process which can be viewed on the following link: Building Commission.
