The unit supports the work of private building surveyors who offer building inspection services in a consultative capacity for both new construction projects and for building compliance upgrade works. The unit covers managing the tendering process and the selection of contractors, inspecting the building during the progress of construction or building work, and liaising and negotiating on behalf of the client with the building contractor on compliance issues.Building surveyors must operate within the regulatory constraints that govern the relationship between their advisory and statutory roles and ensure that no conflict of interest arises.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit in some States. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.
