Our Standards
our people
We respect and value the things that make every member of our team individuals, and we’re committed to creating a culture of inclusion and diversity. Flexible working was the reason NSS started up, we support our team to work flexibly thus affording them a strong work-life balance.
We create lasting benefits through continually developing skills and employment opportunities. We provide access to training for all team members to put them in the best position to do their job well and fulfill their potential. A measure of this comes through our Investors in People status, which was initially achieved in 2014.
royal institution of chartered surveyors
The company is a chartered practice and steadfastly believes in ongoing professional development and works with the RICS to deliver this.
Our commitment to building the future of surveying is also bourne out by 6 years of training apprentices to consistently high levels through a dedicated work and training program. Apprentice Quantity Surveyors work-study over 5 years towards Level 6 via a Degree Apprenticeship day-release. Then progress to RICS professional memberships (MRICS) as part of the Apprenticeship program to become Chartered Quantity Surveyors.
