Recent research studies show that RICS-qualified Building Surveyors in the UK earn on average £16,000 more each year than non-members this is because RICS promotes and enforces the highest professional qualifications and standards in the development and management of land, real estate, construction, and infrastructure.

As a Chartered Building Surveyor, you could play a pivotal role in shaping the world around you and gain satisfaction from seeing your projects brought to life, improving local urban and rural areas.
