Third Year Building Survey

focus_mad

Hi,

I'm in college training to be a Building Surveyor and have to do a measured survey of a large building (500-800m2) over 25 years old and possibly with a historic past. I then have to do a change of use development project..

Would anyone in the know be able to tell me the best place to find such buildings or possibly any helpful sites?

Much appreciated,

Al

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, if the mod cares to move it to a more suitable location, thanks in advance

Most hospitals will fit into this.

Maybee one of the hospitals which are loosing their services to the larger "centres of excelence"

Ah yeah I had considered it but its over the allowed floorspace and tryin to survey and accurately draw it with all its different extentions would send me to grangegorman... but its a good idea all the same

There would be loads of business/commercial/factory type buildings closed down over the last year or so. Why not locate one and use it as your project.

Maybe something like an old factory turned into individual retail/office units.
