Regarding P I Marks letter (‘Numbers up’, CM June). I agree, a wake-up call is required. QSs have been swallowed up and belong nowhere. The term ‘Chartered Builder’ certainly does not connect with QSs.

But check out how many articles related to QSs in the June issue of the RICS mag. The CIOB could seize the opportunity to increase membership, provide a home for the QSs with clear letters of designation to allow those in the industry, and the public, know they are Quantity Surveyors.
