I am writing in response to your international salary guide (24 June, page 40).

You say that quantity surveyors are in demand in France “because no company offers this kind of service here”. Although the article was correct in some respects – other than the unrealistic salary levels – a number of firms (including the one that I work for!) do in fact offer a QS as well as a project management service in Paris and elsewhere in France to a considerable selection of international clients. No doubt some, if not all of the other firms also present in France have replied expressing their indignation, but if not, I am sure that they will appreciate my reply on behalf of all of us.
