Did you know that it is an offence to appoint multiple Building Surveyors to work on the same project?
Additionally, any work carried out by an appointed Building Surveyor could be invalid if more than one surveyor is appointed on the same job.
Dual appointments create confusion for owners, Building Surveyors, builders and council, therefore, it is important that practitioners only appoint one Building Surveyor.
It is NOT AN OFFENCE to appoint separate Building Surveyors to carry out different projects on the same property.
