Read moreRICS PII market consultation – Is the feeling mutual? Have your say

Mass construction ensued with a new form of 'social housing' created, as well as growth in the private sector. As the housing sector developed, in 1921 the governing body for many surveyors, then known as the Chartered Auctioneers and Estate Agents Institute (CAEAI), but what is now known as the RICS, introduced a requirement for its members to have professional indemnity insurance with various Lloyd's syndicates.

Read moreConstruction Contracts Part 1 – Who is party to the contract?
It may at first sight appear difficult to imagine a scenario where works are performed and paid for but it is not clear who the parties to the contract are. Common sense would suggest that is simply the person or company who performs the work and the person or company who pays for it. However, it is not always readily discernible who those parties are, for example because payment is being made by a person or company who is not obtaining the benefit of the works or because a different party appears to be giving directions under the contract.
