Bachelor of Technology
(Building Surveying)
1996 VTAC course code-34350
The course is intended to prepare students for the
professions of building and building surveying. It meets the
educational requirements for membership of the Australian
Institute of Building Surveyors (nationally) and the
educational requirements of the Victorian Building
Practitioners Board, which licenses Building Surveyors in
the State of Victoria. The course is also accredited by the
Australian Institute of Building.
The course was introduced at the request of the AIBS and
has been designed to enable future members of the
profession tocope with anticipated changes in building
technology, materials and statutory regulations.
The course is coordinated by the School of Civil
Engineering and Building. It is interdisciplinary in nature,
with a teaching input from a number of schools.
Career potential
Graduates in Building Surveying have the opportunity to
enter either the private or municipal field practising as
building control officers or building surveyors,
administering building regulation and control. Employment
opportunities also exist in the planning and supervisiory
areas of building construction.
The building surveyor in a municipality is the council's
technical officer in matters pertaining to buildings. Duties
include giving advice to council on various parliamentary
acts and regulations, council bylaws and regulations relevant
to building, together with their administration as required
by law and by council. The building surveying department
is responsible for checking plans and computations
submitted for council approval and for carrying out
inspections of buildings during construction, alteration and
demolition.
In ~rivate ~ractice the consultant building survevor is an
essential pan of the building team. Advice is given to the
designer team, and the final documents are approved by the
builldiq surveyor who issues the building and iater
carries out the mandatory inspections.
