About

isurv is the definitive way of locating and accessing built environment information. Created by RICS, the online subscription service gives insight from industry practitioners and legal experts. It is designed to help you effectively put theory into practice, increase your knowledge and potentially help to resolve workplace issues.

isurv contains:

  • more than 25,000 pages of information updated by over 300 expert authors and
  • £50k worth of resources, all current and archived RICS standards, checklists, templates and cases.

We asked our subscribers why they subscribe to isurv:

isurv saves you money

Our business recently faced a client dispute over measurement. We subscribe to isurv so I could quickly find the answer I needed and as I could pitch this as RICS information, the client accepted the answer. I estimate this saved us £46,000, which makes isurv incredible value.

isurv saves you valuable time

As well as saving me desk space, isurv saves me time. Rather than having to look through multiple resources for the answers I need, I can quickly log onto isurv and find the latest expert information in my area of practice.

isurv can help you manage risk

isurv provides my firm with the reassurance that all of our 450 surveyors get access to up-to-date surveying information direct from RICS. We use isurv because it offers practical and credible knowledge that other information resources cannot guarantee.
