The Surveyor of Buildings [1] also known as the Department of the Surveyor of Buildings was the civil officer initially a member of the Navy Board then later the Board of Admiralty responsible for superintending, maintaining and improving the British Royal Navy Dockyards, Naval Buildings, and Architectural Works [2] of the Admiralty from 1812 to 1837.

History

The office holder evolved out of an earlier post in 1796 when an Inspector-General of Naval Works was appointed to superintend the Naval Works Department [3] then under the Board of Admiralty with responsibility for all civil engineering works in the royal naval dockyards.[4] In 1806 the Commissioners of Enquiry for Revising and Digesting the Civil Affairs of the Royal Navy produced a fourth report (since 1785) in which they recommended the abolition of the Inspector-Generals Department as a semi-autonomous function and recommended the role be re-styled and its responsibilities broadened.[5] In 1807 the title was changed to the Civil Architect and Engineer of the Navy his department then reported directly to the Navy Board.[6] In 1813 the title and role was changed to Surveyor of Buildings whose responsibilities shifted focus towards architectural works. In 1827 the Surveyors department was expanded to include the duties of managing the buildings belonging to the Victualling Department and including its various yards and stations.[7] In 1832 the Navy Board was abolished and its role and responsibilities were merged into the Admiralty. In 1837 following restructuring the surveyors department was abolished and its functions merged into a new Architectural and Engineering Works Department [8] under a Director of Naval Works who then reported to the Civil Lord of the Admiralty.[9]
