The South African Council for the Quantity Surveying Profession (SACQSP) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in London have signed a mutual recognition of professional competence agreement, solidifying the relationship of the two institutions.

RICS global president Louise Brooke-Smith said both organisations played an important role in the built environment and shared a common goal in setting and regulating professional standards in quantity surveying for the advancement of the profession.

“Developing this partnership will not only facilitate future cooperation, it will also broaden opportunities for members of the SACQSP and RICS internationally,” she added.

Following the signing of the agreement, registered members of the SACQSP could become full members of RICS, following the satisfactory completion of a mandatory ethics assessment.

As the RICS qualification was recognised worldwide, its members were able to work across markets.

Further, in terms of the agreement, qualified quantity surveying members of RICS could now also be registered as professional quantity surveyors with the SACQSP.

RICS members wishing to register with the SACQSP had to submit a detailed resume of practical quantity surveying experience and successfully conclude a professional interview.
