A career that is easier on the body – but still hands-on

For many who are experienced in construction, there comes a point where the physical demands of the job begin to outweigh the rewards. Nevertheless, leaving the industry altogether isn’t always the answer.

A career in residential surveying offers an opportunity to build on years of practical knowledge and transition into a respected professional role that is both mentally engaging and less physically demanding.

Surveyors use their understanding of buildings to identify defects, assess condition and provide trusted advice to homeowners, buyers and housing providers. With the UK facing a shortage  of qualified residential surveyors, demand for skilled professionals continues to grow.

At the Sava School of Surveying, many learners come from construction, trade and property backgrounds to enrol on the Level 6 Diploma in Residential Surveying and Valuation. This part-time qualification is designed to help people retrain and pursue a new chapter in their career journey, while continuing to work. Learners develop practical surveying skills, residential construction knowledge and an understanding of building pathology, preparing them for a long-term  career in the profession.

For those looking to stay connected to the built environment while moving into a more sustainable role, residential surveying offers a rewarding next step.
