The best way to realise this vision is through collaboration with organisations that share similar values and aspirations. Therefore, I am delighted that the APM is partnering with Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors. Our partnership will bring together the best of both associations to support project professionals working in geospatial engineering and commercial management in infrastructure.”
