CAREERS / SURVEYING
Help capture accurate property information for residential architectural projects through flexible, appointment-based measured surveys.
THE ROLE
We are looking for capable, reliable individuals to visit residential properties and gather measurements, basic sketches and clear photographs. The work supports the preparation of architectural drawings for extensions, alterations and other residential projects.
Surveys are arranged in advance and offered as needed, with availability varying from month to month. This is a flexible freelance opportunity that may suit students, aspiring surveyors or people seeking practical industry experience.
Previous professional experience is not essential, but accurate measurements, attention to detail and courteous communication with residents are important.
PRACTICAL REQUIREMENTS
This role involves travelling to residential properties, collecting clear site information and sending that information back in an agreed format.
The original advertisement listed work in Wolverhampton, Birmingham, London, Manchester and surrounding areas. The exact regions covered and individual survey appointments will be confirmed when opportunities arise.
Suitable applicants should have access to transport, be punctual, and be comfortable working independently in people's homes.
TERMS FROM THE ORIGINAL ADVERT
The previous advertisement stated £30–£60 per completed survey, dependent on the size and complexity of the property, with mileage paid at 45p per mile. It also referred to an indicative hourly comparison of £25–£30.
It stated that a laser measuring device could be provided, while basic sketching equipment and a camera-equipped phone were required.
These are the terms shown in the earlier advertisement, not a guarantee of current rates or availability. Confirm the fee, expenses, travel, deliverables, equipment and freelance appointment terms for each commission before accepting it.
