BSc (Hons) Building Surveying Bachelor's degree at Roehampton University

In this module, you will explore a range of topics that are essential for your professional development as you begin your career in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. The module introduces you to some of the important roles carried out by professionals in order to create the built environment. You will learn about the typical professional activities, professional code of conduct and explain how these integrate with all stakeholders, processes, and practices in the bu

This module introduces you to the fundamental principles of construction technology and materials, focusing their application in low-rise domestic buildings. It covers the mechanical and physical properties of materials, material selection for sustainability, and construction technology from foundations, walls, roofs and floors, together with building services.

This module has three distinct component parts: land surveying, drawings, and measurement. Through hands-on experience with professional surveying equipment and real-world fieldwork applications, you will develop industry-relevant competencies required in construction management, civil engineering, and building surveying roles. In the first component, you will gain practical knowledge of surveying instruments used in industry, learning to conduct surveys, interpret results, and apply mathematica

This is the first in a series of Interdisciplinary Design Projects that continue in each year of the programme. The module integrates the skills and knowledge acquired on the programme to date. However, it goes beyond that in terms of integration in as much as you will work within interdisciplinary groups from across the SETEC undergraduate programmes. Further, as the programme gains new cohorts, you will also work with students in 'vertical' cross-cohort disciplinary groups where you are given

In this module, you will explore three key themes: procurement, contract administration, and professional development. You will learn how procurement plays a vital role in securing goods and services to meet client requirements in construction projects. Through case studies and industry examples, you will analyze contract administration principles that define the roles and responsibilities of project stakeholders. You will develop problem-solving skills by evaluating procurement strategies and a

The module builds upon the knowledge and understanding developed from the level 4 Construction Science, Technology and Materials 1 with a focus on the technology of high-rise frame construction and new methods of construction. You will develop a deeper understanding of contemporary construction technology principles in complex buildings including basements, their future adaptation and refurbishment options. It addresses the superstructure to include types of frames and their different envelope s

Building pathology is a fundamental aspect of building surveying practice. To develop your building pathology skills, you will first need to understand how buildings are constructed and the various mechanisms that cause deterioration. These may include natural ageing, poor construction practices, environmental factors, or other influences.

In this module you will apply the knowledge and skills acquired at Level 4 and during Level 5 to a multi-faceted design problem of a building or part of one, develop holistic design thinking, further embed approaches to design that are sustainable and carbon neutral, in particular novel materials, timber and reused or recycled steel and carbon accounting for construction, and to continue with self-reflection and collaborative practices with other disciplines. Further, the project will usually be
