Apply for the Register

Apply to be on the Statutory Register under the Building Control Act 2007

Why you need to Register

The professional titles “Building Surveyor” and “Quantity Surveyor” are protected titles under the Building Control Act 2007.  

A person cannot use these titles either alone or in combination with any other words or letters, or name, title or description, implying that the person is so registered, without being registered. 

Therefore, if you are a professional and need to use one or both of these titles, you must apply for registration.
