The 13th PAQS Congress – the global forum linking Quantity Surveyors and Cost Engineers from the Asia Pacific Region, will provide the perfect platform for professionals in the built environment to meet and look into challenges and to upgrade our professional development. With the rapid pace in ICT development and changes in political trends, the need to increase interconnectedness, cross cultural cooperation, mutual development and innovation among the QS and CE are becoming very critical. Intense competition for markets makes adaptiveness and innovation in the QS and CE practices necessary.

This congress invites you to examine insightful and novel ways of exploiting opportunities brought about by the changing and emerging markets and the new global work environment. The focus of the congress is on rationalizing our minor differences and building upon many similarities towards merging our roles and common services by expanding possibilities of collaboration in the areas of research, education, training, practices, accreditation and mutual recognition of qualifications as a way forward in “Building the Future Together”.
