The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)
"The RICS is one of the most respected and high profile global "standards and membership" organizations for professionals involved in land, valuation, real-estate, construction and environmental issues." (extracted from the RICS website)
A truly global organization with regional representation in the UK, Continental Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia, Oceania and the Middle East.
As Chartered Quantity Surveyors, we are subject to the Royal Charter and Byelaws - the rules and regulations of the RICS. This requires us to conduct ourselves and perform to the highest standards of professionalism and service at all times.
We have affiliations with the following RICS faculties:
On many occasions we and our clients utilize a suite of specialist software programmes relating to Project Management, Time & Cost Control and Contract Management & Administration, issued under licence of Primavera Inc. of the USA. Of those firms licensed to sell this suite of products and conduct specialist consultancy services, we have established alliances with Forgetrack Ltd of the UK and Primavera Nederland B.V. of The Netherlands.
We work in collaboration with these firms whenever our clients require the installation of software and associated training, and, or where their specialist technical knowledge provides additional detailed expertise, especially in connection with our time and cost management, claims avoidance and claims management services. The main benefit of this collaboration is the cutting edge or business advantage this gives to our clients.
When undertaking services pertaining to Project Profit Optimization, we work together with another of our alliance partners, Roland Berger & Partner GmbH Strategy Consultants. Originating from Germany in the late 1960's, Roland Berger operate on an international basis and are today one of the world's leading management & strategy consultants. Their Competence Centre related to Contracting is directly responsible for working with LHi on PPO projects for clients.
Furthermore, we have affiliations with a number of UK and European legal practices specializing in Construction Contract Law and Commercial Law. They are also recognized as leaders in ADR techniques as well as experienced in Arbitration and Litigation proceedings.. These strategic affiliations allow us effective access to legal expertise under differing jurisdictions and we constantly review the development of such affiliations to ensure that the very best current advice and support is on hand to our clients as well as ourselves.
