Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors

The Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors or CICES is a professional association in the field of civil engineering surveying. CICES is now recognised as the leading chartered professional body for civil engineering surveyors. CICES members consist mainly of commercial managers and geospatial engineers working and studying within civil engineering surveying. The institution began in 1969 as the Association of Surveyors in Civil Engineering and became a registered educational charity in 1992. In 1992, CICES became the first associated institution of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and together formed two joint boards to provide and disseminate surveying knowledge and expertise; the Geospatial Engineering Board and Commercial Management Board. CICES also has reciprocal membership agreements in place with the ICE. It publishes the Civil Engineering Surveyor, a monthly periodical publication.[1][2]
