Building and Energy has an audit program to monitor whether registered building surveyors are complying with their registration requirements and if technical building surveying work is meeting the applicable building standards.

During the 2021-23 period, Building and Energy conducted compliance inspections of work samples of registered building surveyor contractors. The main component of these inspections was a technical review of 80 instances of approvals documentation that the building surveyor had relied upon to confirm compliance with the applicable building standards.
