RICS Americas publishes this magazine to highlight the excellent work being done by our members and member firms across the entire region.This issue is certainly a product of our times, with a selection of articles that focuses on ethics in business, project cost savings and seeking opportunities across borders.
Ross Templeton MRICS explores how Public Private Partnerships are vital to renewing Canada’s infrastructure. Simon Taylor FRICS and Alexia Nalewaik MRICS note how quantity surveyors help clients curtail risk in an increasingly uncertain building environment. And Stan Mullin FRICS reminds us all of the importance of maintaining high ethical standards in our business dealings.
These articles also highlight the value that RICS brings to its members’ lives. We are connected across disciplines and time zones by a common mission to uphold the highest standards as we execute our responsibilities to our firms and clients.
I hope you enjoy reading Property World and will consider writing an article for a future issue. Also, don’t forget to explore the online version of the magazine at www.ricsamericas.org/property-world, where you’ll find associated podcasts, member profiles and information about all RICS’ activities.
Best regards,
Tom Justin FRICS
Chairman, RICS Americas
