About Us...
The Chief Building Surveyors Society was founded in the 1970's to provide a forum for surveyors primarily engaged in the maintenance of public buildings.
Over the years the members of the Society have become involved in asset management planning, facilities and estate management, design and modernisation. The Society has evolved in response to the changes such as outsourcing, delegation of budgets and efficiency agendas.
It currently has active representation from nearly 60 public sector authorities from all over the country and wealth of knowledge from its wide ranging membership, including retired members.
It has membership from Building Surveyors, Engineers, Architects and a wealth of other construction related disciplines.
If you have any questions about the Society, take a look at our FAQs, or feel free to Contact Us.
The CBSS now has a new website administrator called Ian Banister - follow this link to mail him with any queries Contact Us.
