Reviews
"Mind changing! It is relatively rare to read a book that actually changes your mind about something that really matters to you. Refreshingly, this is such a book. As one who has consistently and confidently prophesised the decline, if not demise, of the professions of the built environment, I am now renewed with a fresh hope for their future. Simon Foxell has, somewhat inspiringly, given hindsight, insight and foresight to this engaging subject. Hindsight, in the way he scholarly describes their historical foundations and subsequent flourishing. Insight, by skilfully examining what some see as their present malfunctioning, misdirection and marginalisation. And, most of all, foresight, for his strategic exploration of their future prospects, promise and potential with his outline 'six-point plan' and collaborative sense of purpose. The challenge of reforming the professions of the built environment remains daunting, but I am now imbued with a greater feeling of optimism, expectancy and direction." John Ratcliffe, Professor Emeritus DIT & Founder, The Futures Academy

Synopsis
In the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, this new book provides thought provoking commentary on the nature of the relationship between society, the prevailing economic system and professionalism in the built environment. It addresses the changing responsibilities of professionals and in particular their obligation to act in the wider public interest. It is both an introduction to and an examination of professionalism and professional bodies in the sector, including a view of the future of professionalism and the organisations serving it. Simon Foxell outlines the history of professionalism in the sector, comparing and contrasting the development of the three major historic professions working in the construction industry: civil engineering, architecture and surveying. He examines how their systems have developed over time, up to the current period dominated by large professional services firms, and looks at some options for the future, whilst asking difficult questions about ethics, training, education, public trust and expectation from within and outside the industry. The book concludes with a six-point plan to help, if not ensure, that the professions remain an effective and essential part of both society and the economy; a part that allows the system to operate smoothly and easily, but also fairly and to the benefit of all. Essential reading for built environment professionals and students doing the professional studies elements of their training or in the process of applying for chartership or registration. The issues and lessons are applicable across all building professions.
