- be a department within an organisation where a fully qualified Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland and RICS member is the director or manager.
Please note that there are strict brand guideline rules which set out the format and positioning of the logos. The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland and RICS logos must appear in one of the prescribed 'lock-up' formats at all times.
