RICS Forms of Consultant's Appointment (England and Wales)
Published May 2022
RICS has published a new edition of the RICS Forms of Consultant’s Appointment. This was revised in April 2025 to account for the introduction of a new Principal Designer (Building Regulations) Scope of Services and to distinguish it from the Principal Designer (CDM 2015) Scope of Services.
RICS members and others involved in the appointment of surveyors are encouraged to use these Forms for a wide variety of different disciplines within the construction process and related fields.
The Appointment Forms are published in three separate versions: Standard, Short and Short Designated, with explanatory notes provided on how the Forms and Scope documents are to be used.
Versions for Northern Ireland and Scotland have also been published.
