How do I apply for membership?
The criteria and process to join the Faculty is dependent on the level of membership required. Details of eligibility and application process for each level of membership we offer, are described below.
STUDENT
Full-Time Students may apply directly to the Faculty with no prior experience or qualification required.
MEMBER
There are two routes to full membership:
1, If you already have experience in dealing with party wall matters and have a sound knowledge of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 then you can apply for a direct interview. Your application will be supported by providing two party wall awards (one as the agreed surveyor and one where you were one of two surveyors) and corresponding letters of appointment. Once your application form has been received you will be contacted to undertake an interview. Upon successful completion of your interview, you will be invited into full membership.
2, If your experience in dealing with party wall matters is very limited but you have a construction industry background then you should attend our Two-day Party Wall Seminar. This takes you from serving ‘Notice’ to undertaking preparing an ‘Award’ as part of a paper exercise on the second day.
Once you have successfully completed our course you are eligible to apply for full membership of the Faculty, subject to attending an interview. Your membership application will be supported by submitting two “dummy” party wall awards (one as an agreed surveyor and one where you are one of two surveyors) and corresponding letters of appointment, which will be prepared from information and plans given as part of the course pack. Upon successful completion of your interview, you will be invited into full membership.
