The RICS is the world authority on standards and qualifications in building surveying. It maintains the Red Book, the bible of commercial property valuations. Its grade II listed home, designed by the renowned Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse, speaks to the 152-year-old organisation’s august history and role.
