QSi Research Directorate

The QSi Scientific Research Directorate plays a significant role in promoting, guiding and coordinating research activities by Members of the organisation. QSi members research into different aspects of the built environment. These aspects could be financial, technological, procedural, managerial, socio-cultural, etc. Research is increasingly using a multi-disciplinary perspective to provide a greater understanding of the complex challenges of modern life and practices. The QSi welcomes and supports research and the mission of its Scientific Directorate is to provide an encouraging and networking environment for the promotion of research. The multi-faceted tasks of the Scientific Research Directorate include:

  • Developing knowledge among members
  • Fostering an active research culture and encouraging innovation and creativity among QSi members
  • Using research findings to improve the professions of the Built Environment
  • Enhancing the reputation of the QSi and its members by encouraging and promoting quality research

11/03/2024Research Dissemination and Knowledge Exchange The School of Architecture and Built Environment (SoABE) of the University of Wolverhampton hosts a series of seminars delivered in hybrid mode. These lunch-time ‘Built Environment and Engineering Research Seminars’ (BEERS) often take place from November to May/June and attract attendees from within and outside the University. Research works, case studies, policies, regulations, work experiences and topical matters of interest are presented and discussed at BEERS. Attendees find the sessions stimulating and enlightening. Presenters who include academic staff, researchers and practitioners from industry derive great delight through dissemination of good practice, knowledge and ideas. Ezekiel Chinyio (inset) Plans BEERS which has witnessed over 110 sessions. QSi is a great champion of Surveying and (Construction) Project Management globally. Members of QSi have a rich depth of knowledge and experience, and some of it is tacit. There is great scope for QSi members to participate in BEERS as SoABE wishes to stretch its longstanding collaboration with QSi to include BEERS. In addition to attendance, QSi members can volunteer to present at BEERS. This will be industry informing research and vice-versa. I can see networking opportunities here too.Link
