Good Morning, 

 

I am going through a dispute at the moment with my neighbour. We have been ordered by the court to hire a Chartered Surveyor. 

The other party has hired a CABE Building Engineer. 

What is the difference between RICS chartered surveyor and CABE building engineer? Can a CABE building engineer act as a Chartered Surveyor? 

Help would be very helpful. 

Thanks

I'd go with RICS.

 

Usually things aren't limited to only a single institution. Although as I understood it, only RICS can award 'Chartered Surveyor'. 

Thanks for your reply George. 

 

I intend on relying on evidence from a RICS Chartered Surveyor.

The other party has instructed a CABE building engineer after being instructed by the court to hire a chartered surveyor.

This sounds like it will be very expensive!

 

The other side needs to appoint a Charted Surveyor.
