About BSA+

To mark the 10th anniversary of the Building Surveyor Awards (BSA), a new Accreditation scheme, Building Surveyor Accreditation Plus (BSA+), was launched along with BSA 2025 and it will be open for applications biannually. 

Aims of Building Surveyor Accreditation Plus (BSA+):

The expertise of Building Surveyors covers the full spectrum from the birth of a building through its planning and design, along with its design life involving upkeep, rehabilitation, and improvement until the end of its life. The public may not have the ideas of these professional inputs by the building surveyors in their daily use of various buildings, including shelter, business, learning, entertainment, and social life.

Notwithstanding that not every building shall have the involvement of our professional building surveyors during the whole building life cycle, our professional building surveyors shall be able to evaluate the building performance and to advise the end-users of the buildings for the best enjoyment of the buildings from our expertise.

It is the purpose of setting up this Accreditation Scheme by granting recognition to honour buildings or premises that exemplify excellence in meeting the rigorous building criteria, delivering the outcomes that prioritize the end-users' enjoyment. Buildings with recognition shall be the model of the building type for the expression of excellence.  

Building Surveyor Accreditation Plus (BSA+) is open for nomination under the following categories.
