It’s possible that some surveyors may not have pass through these additional levels to become chartered, however it’ll still be regulated by RICS and be fully qualified. These can be termed as Assoc RICS, associates or building surveyors. While you don’t necessarily have to use a chartered surveyor for your survey, it’s highly advisable to use RICS approved experts.

Once done, they’ll then state all findings in a report for you to help you make the best possible informed decision, whether or not you’ll want to go ahead with the purchase or re-negotiate the terms of the purchase based on the findings in the report.

When to get a structural inspection report?

Both major types of property survey from RICS are the Building Survey as well as the HomeBuyer Report. Although it is down to you, as the owner or buyer, to pick which survey is the right one for your requirements, there are some guidelines in place to aid you determine.

 

A HomeBuyer Report is generally far better for properties that:

  • were built within the last 100 years
  • are of even more conventional style
  • are constructed from typical building materials
  • are in a practical problem, as far as you can inform

 

A Building Survey is generally much better for residential or commercial properties that:

  • are much older and developed greater than 100 years ago
  • have gone through significant expansion or change
  • are a lot bigger as well as supply considerable holiday accommodation
  • you plan to change in the future
  • are of non-traditional fabrication.

Structural Engineers with these letters after their names are referred to as Chartered Engineers.

If you wish to work as a quantity surveyor or perhaps you’re just looking to hire one, then one of the first things that comes to mind is the qualifications to look out for. To work as a quantity surveyor, you’ll normally require a degree in quantity surveying or commercial management which is accredited by the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). However, in the event whereby your degree as an undergraduate happens to be in a different subject, there’s still a chance for you to become a qualified quantity surveyor. To achieve this, all you need do is to take a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors accredited post graduate conversion course. Degrees that this applies to includes the following: Economics, building or construction, geography, civil or structural engineering, mathematics, project management ( construction) as well as urban and land studies.

 

Typically, the post graduate course will take about a year to complete ( on a full time basis), whereas it takes about 2 years on a part time basis. What’s more? There are some employers that will recruit some graduates as “non-cognates ( meaning those with a non RICS accredited degrees ) and support them financially through the accredited post graduate course. Furthermore, you can as well take a RICS accredited degree apprenticeship whether undergraduate, PGDip or Masters, in quantity surveying as well as project management that combines work with part time study at a university.

 

However, if you’re without a degree, there’s still an option. Simply start work as a technical surveyor ( also referred to as surveying technician ) and then apply for a part time study while working to qualify as a quantity surveyor.
