Why we choose RICS.
Choosing the right building surveyor can make the difference between a smooth, well-managed project & costly surprises. At Project, our work is built on two core principles that define everything we do: expertise & trust. Clients rely on us to diagnose issues, oversee projects, & safeguard their investments. They also depend on us to operate with absolute integrity. That balance between technical capability & ethical responsibility is what defines great building surveying.
While building surveying is often associated with defect diagnosis or project management, the reality is far broader. Effective surveying requires deep technical knowledge of building pathology, construction methods and regulations. It also demands clear communication, turning complex issues into practical, actionable advice. Professional judgement, fairness, accuracy and a commitment to ethical practice all play a vital role. Great building surveying is not just about identifying problems; it is about long-term protection for clients and their assets.
In the UK, no organisation sets the benchmark for surveying excellence more clearly than the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). As a firm with RICS-accredited surveyors, we recognise the essential role these standards play in protecting both clients and practitioners. RICS provides a framework that ensures high-quality, consistent surveying advice, ethical decision-making, and robust procedures that reduce risk and improve outcomes. Its standards ensure ongoing development, meaning surveyors remain up to date with industry changes.
For clients, RICS accreditation is more than a professional title.
It is a guarantee of:
🏆 Quality through recognised industry standards
🦺 Protection via clear procedures and robust insurance
📨 Accountability supported by a respected code of conduct
Working with RICS-accredited surveyors means receiving advice you can trust — advice that is transparent, accurate and aligned with your best interests.
For our team at Project, RICS accreditation reinforces the values we live by. It ensures our work is reliable, evidence-based and carried out with integrity. It supports transparent communication with clients and helps us maintain the highest standards of professionalism. Continuous training and development ensure our expertise stays current and relevant, enabling us to deliver the best possible service on every project.
Expertise and trust remain the cornerstones of the surveying profession, but standards are what hold the industry together. RICS provides the structure, guidance and ethical framework that enable surveyors to deliver exceptional service while protecting the interests of clients. At Project, we are proud to uphold these standards and remain committed to providing reliable, transparent and client-focused building surveying services across the UK.
