Property development requires various professionals, including surveyors who specialise in land and property development. Land surveyors measure and map land boundaries, while building surveyors manage project planning, design, and safety. Meanwhile, quantity surveyors evaluate project costs. General Practice (GP) surveyors are proficient in planning, development, valuation, land management, property sales, investment, and finance, possessing ample analytical, communication, and project management skills. This profession provides a diversified range of projects to work on. In this presentation, the speaker will discuss the surveying industry, GP surveyors’ roles in property development, job opportunities available, and the pathways towards becoming a GP surveyor.
