| David Rogers, BSc MRICS Sub Director of Construction, Kepler Bosques de Alisos 47-A, Piso 3 Bosques de las Lomas México DF 05120 Contact David Rogers David Rogers has 12 years of experience specializing in property management. His current occupational responsibility as a Sub-Director of Construction involves a lot of travel throughout México overseeing a diverse portfolio of projects. Primarily, he provides support to the project managers on site, ensuring effect communications throughout his projects and accurate reporting to his clients. Q. Why did you pursue a career in this industry? My father was a Quantity Surveyor (now retired), my elder brother is also a Quantity Surveyor and I became a Chartered Building Surveyor. Also my younger brother is an Architect and my youngest brother is a Lawyer, specializing in Corporate and Property Law, so I guess we all decided to follow in our father’s footsteps. My brothers all practice in the United Kingdom. After gaining over 10 years of specialist construction consulting and management experience working for private consulting firms in the United Kingdom I decided to take a sabbatical for one year, during which time I travelled extensively throughout Mexico and Central America. Having now completed my Sabbatical I have decided to remain in Mexico to pursue a new challenging and exciting opportunity. Q. Do you have specific areas of expertise or specialist interest? As a Chartered Building Surveyor my experience covers all the usual aspects of Construction and I provide a multi-disciplinary approach to any construction project providing design management, providing and managing comprehensive consultancy services, specifically contract administration, project management, value engineering, quality assurance, effective cost and program management. Q. What has been a career or project highlight? I am lucky to have had the opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of projects throughout London and the United Kingdom and with many different people both within the Built Environment and from other sectors, all working together to deliver the end result. I continue to enjoy the challenge of a new project and meeting new people and as long as I enjoy this I will remain in this exciting and constantly changing industry. Q. Has being a member of RICS helped your professional career? Practicing in the United Kingdom, the RICS designation is a must for all property professionals. The RICS logo and designation is widely recognized and seen as a mark of quality and professionalism by our colleagues within the built environment and our clients throughout other industry sectors. I like to believe that my qualifications, experience and enthusiasm are the reason for my career progression, but coupled with the RICS designation, my resume definitely stands out and I have certainly been presented with more opportunities as a result of the RICS. The RICS is of course a global brand and is becoming more recognized in the Americas and the RICS designation is of course a global symbol of professionalism that benefits both employer and client. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=0aa3ac38-1520-4a71-b187-e5ce6202147d&type=website&buttonText=Share%20this&style=rotate&post_services=linkedin%2Cfacebook%2Ctwitter%2Cdigg%2Cdelicious"></script> |
