Questions surveyors and the public are asking.
What is Surveyors UK?
Surveyors UK is the independent digital home for UK surveyors. It brings together community, insights, directory, referral network, marketplace, and career support for surveyors across every discipline. Surveyors UK is built with surveyors, for surveyors, across every professional and trade body in the sector.
What does a surveyor actually do?
Surveyors protect the biggest financial and structural decisions in the built environment. Surveyors value land and property, keep buildings safe and compliant, manage commercial estates, oversee construction costs, settle disputes, and advise on everything from a house purchase to national infrastructure. Different surveyor disciplines include building surveyors, quantity surveyors, valuation surveyors, and land surveyors.
Who regulates and supports surveyors in the UK?
UK surveyors are represented across several professional and trade bodies, including the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE), and the Survey Association (TSA). Surveyors UK is an independent platform that provides a shared home where surveyors from every body can meet, share, and support each other.
How is Surveyors UK different?
Surveyors UK is independent. It is built around UK surveyors as a whole rather than a single body, discipline, or software vendor. Alongside the directory, Surveyors UK offers community, insights, a marketplace, events, and CPD. It also provides a surveying business ecosystem to support firms of all sizes navigating buying, selling, merging, partnerships, referrals, and surveying jobs. Every part is designed to serve and support surveyors first.
Who can join Surveyors UK?
Surveyors UK is open to surveyors across every discipline including residential, commercial, building, quantity, valuation, and land surveyors. Firms of any size can join as firm members. Individual surveyors can join as individual members. Students, trainees, and professionals adjacent to surveying are welcome. Suppliers and service providers join through the marketplace.
How much does Surveyors UK membership cost?
Surveyors UK offers tiered membership for individual surveyors and for firms, priced by capability rather than firm size. Marketplace partner tiers are available for suppliers and service providers. Full pricing is on the membership page. All membership is billed quarterly or annually.
Where can I find a surveyor near me?
Use the Surveyors UK directory to find the right surveyor in your region, filtered by discipline. This is a new and growing directory, and it is part of a bigger ecosystem bringing surveyors and allied professionals together to support each other.
What is the difference between a valuation and a survey?
A valuation is a basic assessment of a property’s market value, usually commissioned by a lender. A survey is a detailed inspection of a property’s condition, commissioned by a buyer. A valuation does not protect you from hidden defects. A survey does. A qualified surveyor can carry out the right level of survey for your property. Surveyors UK will be rolling out guidance and information for the public later this year.
Where can I find out about AI in surveying?
The Surveyors UK AI Hub is the independent resource for surveyors navigating AI and the RICS Professional Standard on the Responsible Use of AI. It brings together the weekly AI in Surveying newsletter, the RICS AI Standard pillar guide, the GUARD Framework for compliance, and the latest insights on AI tagged across the blog and podcast. Surveyors UK is the go-to home for AI in surveying across the UK and beyond.
How do I become a surveyor in the UK?
There are several routes to becoming a surveyor, including degrees, chartered surveyor qualifications, apprenticeships, college courses, and university pathways. Different professional and trade bodies recognise different routes. Surveyors UK will cover all routes, disciplines, and next steps in the Careers section, launching this summer.
Is Surveyors UK open to international surveyors?
Everyone is welcome at Surveyors UK. The platform is focused on UK regulation and standards, and serves UK-based surveyors and firms primarily. Surveyors from overseas are also part of the community and audience, particularly around content on the RICS AI Standard, which has global reach. International surveyors can join the newsletters, community, and podcast.
