Surveyors: Character, Competency and Cha...

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
About this episode

The demands of a Chartered Surveyor now have evolved since the desired qualities of years past, both in terms of skills & competency, and a surveyor’s character.

This week on The RICS Podcast, President of Alexandra Capital, Alexandra Faciu MRICS joins Craig Ross MRICS, who is Associate Director for Safety and Security at Diriyah Company. They dive into the assurance that competency provides to surveyors throughout the profession, and how the demands in the industry have changed across their time as surveyors.

This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:

  • The evolving competencies required of chartered surveyors from adaptability to changing industry demands
  • How mentorship and internal support programs help develop surveying professionals in their early careers
  • Regional differences in surveying practice and regulation, with particular mention of the UK, Middle East, and North America
  • The necessity for a growing focus on sustainability throughout the industry
