Bachelor of Building Surveying

Develop the skills to become a construction-industry professional with a Bachelor of Building Surveying at Victoria University.

building and construction legislation and auditing
inspection procedures
building codes and regulations
industry standards in professional practice
building safety and design including fire safety
sustainable construction techniques and materials.

The degree will equip you with the qualification needed to work as a registered building surveyor.
