===Building surveyor===
[[Chartered Building Surveyor|Building surveyors]] are technically minded general practitioners in the [[United Kingdom]], [[Australia]] and elsewhere, trained much like [[architectural technologist]]s. In the UK, the knowledge and expertise of the building surveyor is applied to various tasks in the property and construction markets, including building design for smaller residential and light commercial projects. This aspect of the practice is similar to other European occupations, most notably the ''geometra'' in [[Italy]], but also the ''géomètre'' in [[France]], [[Belgium]] and [[Switzerland]].
the building surveyors are also capable on establishment of bills of quantities for the new works and renovation or maintenance or rehabilitation works.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Murtagh|first1=Niamh|last2=Ashkar|first2=Loulwa|last3=Roberts|first3=Aeli|date=2018|title=The role of building control surveyors and their power in promoting sustainable construction|journal=Construction Management and Economics|volume=36|issue=7|pages=363–374|doi=10.1080/01446193.2017.1397721|s2cid=115923683|url=https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10025855/}}</ref>

The profession of Building Surveyor does not exist in the US. The title ''Surveyor'' refers almost exclusively to [[Surveying|Land surveyors]]. [[Architect]]s, Building Designers, Residential Designers, Construction Managers, and [[Home Inspector]]s perform some or all of the work of the U.K. Building Surveyor.
