RICS REJECTS COLLABORATIVE APPROACH

Greg Ward informs CONSILIAN that RICS will now focus on 'producing it's (sic) own member guidance for property asset management' and 'is forthwith ending it's (sic) support for the project'. 

This decision by RICS to leave the Project Board follows more than two and a half years of discussions.  During this period, Alan White, project representative and the Chairman of RICS Facilities Management Faculty, obtained promises of support from the following 6 Faculties and Forums:

• Facilities Management Faculty
• Commercial Property Faculty
• Management Consultancy Faculty
• Building Surveying Faculty
• Local Government AMP Group
• Corporate Real Estate Group

We regret that recommendations from Alan White and other members that RICS should engage with this project were not accepted by its staff.
