Property management

This is the activity that ensures that land and building matters are dealt with so that they operate efficiently and effectively. In effect a surveyor will advise on the strategic asset management objectives for land and buildings. It is sometimes referred to as 'operational' and it is the activity of undertaking the professional/technical work necessary to ensure that property is in the condition desired, in the form and layout and location desired, and supplied with the services required. This is together with related activities such as the disposal of surplus property, the construction or acquisition of new property, the valuation of property, and dealing with landlord and tenant and rating matters - all at an optimum and affordable cost.
