Building Surveys Programme Including Exterior Rooves 23 April – 2 May

Facilities Management Building Surveyors will be undertaking surveys to the interiors and some exterior roof spaces on multiple buildings between Wednesday 23 April and Friday 2 May.

If you see staff on roof spaces across Campus during that time, it is likely that they will be the surveyors and will be following all working at heights safety protocol. If you are at all concerned, please contact UC Security 0800823637.

The purpose of the UC Building surveys is to complete a full visual assessment of the condition of the interior and exterior of the building. Surveyors will ensure that any photographs taken during the assessment are of the building and that persons are not identifiable in the photographs.

 Your support in ensuring that spaces are tidy and open for inspection will be appreciated.

 Please direct any enquiries to fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz.

 Thank you for your consideration as we undertake these required building surveys.
