Chartered Quantity Surveyor
A chartered quantity surveyor is a highly trained professional who offers expert advice on construction costs. They are essential for life cycle costing, cost planning, procurement, tendering, contract administration, and commercial management12. To become a chartered quantity surveyor, one needs to qualify with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) by completing a structured on-the-job training scheme and passing the assessment of professional competence (APC)3. Holders of this title are entitled to use the designatory letters MRICS (Member of the RICS)4.
