MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Building Surveyors and Inspectors Group (BSIG) is to

support, unite, promote and educate the Building Surveying and Inspection profession within Victoria.

The Building Surveyors and Inspectors Group (BSIG) was created to unite the building surveying and inspection profession in Victoria. For many years there has been a need for an enhanced connection between council, private and student building surveyors and inspectors within Victoria. Our aim is to encourage communication, collaboration and education between our members.

BSIG were the first in our profession to create an online forum that is inclusive of both private building surveyors and municipal building surveyors for the purpose of connecting our members. This forum has provided a platform to enable the sharing of information and created a peer-to-peer forum for the discussion of issues relating to professional standards and other technical guidance.

Our values are:

To provide vision and leadership for our members
To support the needs of our members by working together to meet the requirements of our profession
To encourage teamwork and cooperation
To be fair, equitable, honest and act with integrity
