What makes a Building Engineer?

A Building Engineer is a competent, professionally qualified, experienced individual with a critical understanding of the interaction between buildings and people. Building Engineers collaborate to deliver better outcomes for everyone.

Using rigorous professional judgement, they understand and manage the complex interplay of materials, technologies, systems and services to improve the function and performance of new and existing buildings.

Building Engineers operate across the life-cycle of the built environment, encompassing the design, build, maintenance and repurposing of the spaces and places where we live, work and interact.
