Most QSs think the profession is not fairly represented by the RICS, according to an online survey by building.co.uk

So far the online poll has attracted almost 200 responses, and 69% think that the RICS fails to represent QS firms fairly. Twenty-two per cent disagree.

Nevertheless, respondents are marginally in favour of staying in the organisation, with 47% disagreeing that the QS and construction professional group should leave the RICS and 40% agreeing.

A group of the eight biggest QS firms is to lay out the profession’s grievances with the RICS at a meeting with Max Croft, its president, on 8 July.

The results showed that one of the biggest QS grievances is the proposed changes to RICS rules that would allow membership without a degree.
