If you’re involved in the construction industry, you know that managing costs and budgets is crucial to the success of any project. That’s where working with an RICS Chartered Quantity Surveyor comes in.

RICS is an abbreviation of The ‘Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ which is a global professional body for those working in the Built Environment, Construction, Land, Property and Real Estate.

To qualify to become Chartered, surveyors have to undergo a stringent assessment process and training programme – usually a surveying degree first, then two years (minimum) structured training, before then undertaking their final assessment.

The requirements don’t stop there – once qualified, all members of the RICS are required to comply with their Global Professional and Ethical Standards which necessitate a duty to act with integrity and independence and provide a high standard of service.

Furthermore, all Chartered Surveyors have to adhere to minimum CPD requirements on an annual basis to ensure they maintain high standards of knowledge and practice.

You can identify a Chartered Surveyor as they will use the letters MRICS [Member] or FRICS [Fellow] after their name.
