Institution of Surveyors of Uganda (ISU)

Message From The President

As the only recognized Professional Association Body for Surveyors within Uganda, we have positioned ourselves to devise solutions that foster a positive change for the Land resources sector, Water resources management, built and natural environments in Uganda.
Working together with the Surveyor’s Registration Board (https://www.srb.go.ug/), the regulators of the Survey Profession in Uganda as per Surveyor’s Registration Act, we provide the much-needed professional leadership that guarantees professional progression of our membership, while promoting and enforcing the highest professional standards in the development and management of land, water, environment, real estate, construction and infrastructure within Uganda.

I extend warm greetings from the Governing Council, Management and staff of the Institution of Surveyors of Uganda (ISU).

The ISU is a Professional body that brings together all Quantity Surveyors, Land Surveyors, Valuation Surveyors and the Mining and Hydrological Surveying Professionals in Uganda with a key objective of securing the advancement of professional knowledge and promotion of professional interests to advance public advantage. ISU draws its mandate from the Surveyors’ Registration Act 1974, which establishes the Surveyors’ Registration Board (SRB).

 In this effort, we have created critical partnerships with International Professional Bodies such as the Federation for International Surveyors (FIG) (https://www.fig.net/), International Valuations Standards Council (IVSC) (https://www.ivsc.org/), International Cost Engineering Council (ICEC) (https://www.icoste.org/), Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) (https://www.rics.org/), Deqing Association for Geospatial Professionals (China) as well as the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD, (http://www.rcmrd.org/); to provide a foundation that ensure that the Survey Profession in Uganda is benchmarked on the International Best Practices and as well ensure the best service for our clientele by all our membership. Our work with others provides a foundation for confident, pioneers better places to live and work and is a force for positive social impact.

With over 2,500 Surveyors at various levels of membership, we provide highly qualified trainees and professionals, and offices across all cities of Uganda. 

We work closely with our Line Ministries of Lands Housing and Urban Development, Ministry of Works and Transport as well as Ministry of Water and Environment & Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development. 

As the 34th Governing Council, we shall continue to build on the foundation that has been created by earlier governing councils to create a sustainable professional environment for our membership in a manner that cultivates sustainability within the Land, water and built environment in Uganda.

We call on you to partner with us as we advance the development of Uganda, the African continent and Humanity.
