What is a chartered surveyor?
A chartered building surveyor is a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and a professional who provides expert advice on land, property and construction issues. Professionalism and integrity are key to the surveyor, and the profession is regulated in the public interest by RICS, which was founded in London in 1868. There are over 100,000 chartered surveyors in some 100 countries, all of who have to meet the same high standards to practice. Only chartered surveyors are allowed to use the MRICS or FRICS after their names. These letters confirm membership as a Member or a Fellow of RICS, respectively.
