Building Surveyor's Pocket Book

More about the book

Building Surveyor's Pocket Book is an accessible encyclopaedia of matters vital to building surveyors. Well-illustrated with diagrams, pictures, tables and graphs, it covers all essential elements of building pathology, building performance, and building construction terminology in a simple, accessible way for the practitioner and student. This Pocket Book provides a practical and portable reference text, working as a first-stop publication for those wishing to refresh their knowledge or in need of guidance on surveying practice. Working through fundamental principles in key practice areas, the book is not overly bound by the regulation and legislation of one region and the principles can be applied internationally. Ideal reading for individual surveyors, practitioners and students in building surveying, facilities management, refurbishment, maintenance, renovation and services management. It is also of use for those interested in building forensics, building performance, pathology and anyone studying for their RICS APC. Many other professions in Architecture, Contracting, Engineering and Safety will also find the book of use when undertaking similar practice.
