Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES) is the professional institution for surveyors and engineers who work in the civil engineering and geospatial industries THE ICES
History of ICES Established in 1969 as the Association of Surveyors in Civil Engineering and incorporated in 1972. ICES wanted to encourage and regulate the professional aspirations of quantity surveyors and land surveyors working within the civil engineering sector and to increase the value of their services to the public. These surveyors had developed a distinctive expertise and understanding of the special surveying requirements of the civil engineering industry which was not recognised at that time by any of the existing professional bodies. ICES represents individual surveyors and not businesses/corporate members.
Professional Organisations ICES has developed unique and mutual agreements with the following: • ICES is an associated body of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). • ICES is a full member of the UK Construction Industry Council (CIC). • ICES is a member of the International Cost Engineers Association (ICEA). • ICES is an active member of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG). • ICES also works with PI UKChina.

News Dear Member Re: Royal Charter Petition In December 2008, at the instruction of Council of Management, a petition was submitted to the Privy Council seeking Her Majesty’s pleasure in granting a Royal Charter to the Institution. Last Friday, 20th March 2009, the following message was received from the clerk to the Privy Council: At the Privy Council meeting on 18th March, Her Majesty approved an Order approving the draft ICES Charter and ordering the Lord Chancellor to pass it under the Great Seal. Whilst there remain a number of steps before the sealed Charter is received by the Institution, which may take a number of months to complete, I have been advised that these are merely procedural and that the grant of the Charter is now confirmed. It is therefore with great pleasure that I can advise that at the earliest juncture following the completion of the remaining process, the ICES will move to re-launching itself as: The Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors Further details will be made available in due course. Yours faithfully Steve Jackson President, Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors
