SURVEYING OF BUILDINGS
This
course is designed as an introduction for students who wish
to develop their competence and skills in the physical surveying
of existing buildings but may also be of benefit to students

further improve their presentation skills.
A course guide and an excellent textbook will guide you through
the twelve lessons. Students are also required to ‘research’
information for their ‘ Student Information Portfolio’
(SIP) as explained within the ‘welcome pack’.
Many of the questions within this course should be answered
