Facilities Management Building Surveyors will be undertaking Building Surveys on multiple buildings between Monday 26 May and Friday 30 of May 2025.

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