随着中国“”倡议及“粤港澳大湾区”战略的开展，超大型基建及建设项目陆续出现，具备国际资质的建筑及测量专业是确保这些项目成功的关键。此次资质互认是RICS与HKIS为双方会员扩展视野和发展的策略之举。
With the development of mega-scale infrastructure and construction projects as a result of the Belt and Road initiative and the Greater Bay Area development, this mutual membership recognition is a strategic move by RICS and HKIS to bring benefits and career opportunities to their members. Belt and Road and Greater Bay Area developments rely heavily on construction and surveying professionals with globally recognised qualifications.
RICS香港理事会主席刘建明先生称： “这次与HKIS作出互认是RICS 150周年里的重要成就之一，亦借此肯定测量师为香港建筑业作出的杰出贡献。随着多个超大型基建项目的上马，本地与亚洲区范围内对测量师的需求增加。同时具备RICS及HKIS资质的专业测量师将是各个项目的人才首选。”
“This mutual recognition of partnership with HKIS is an accomplishment in our 150 years of history and an opportunity to honour the outstanding contributions surveyors have made to the built environment in Hong Kong,” said Mr Clement Lau FRICS, Chair of RICS Hong Kong Board. “With local and regional demand surging for Asia’s surveyors, surveying professionals with dual RICS and HKIS qualifications will be a top priority for mega-scale projects in the pipeline.”
HKIS会长郭岳忠测量师亦表示： “具备RICS及HKIS认证的专业测量师将成为内地企业’走出去’与沿线国家合作时参与国外建筑项目的优秀人选。亦有助拓展其个人履历至国际水平。随着学会在国际的影响力及成就，HKIS将继续保持行业的标准，秉承一贯的专业水准，确保会员尽握良机。”
Sr Dick Kwok, President of the HKIS, added “Surveying professionals with dual RICS and HKIS qualifications would be strong candidates for participating in foreign-aid projects when Mainland enterprises ‘go out’ to work with Belt and Road countries, and also to have more presence internationally. The HKIS will continue to maintain the standard of the industry and uphold the professional standards, along with the Institute’s influence and success, internationally while playing a key role in ensuring that its members avail themselves of the opportunities on offer.”
