Robertson & Robertson has a firm-wide commitment to the training of valuation professionals which is facilitated by the divisional structure of the business and the range of specialist properties valued by our staff.
Quality management is fundamental to the valuation process within Robertson & Robertson. It is our contention that quality assurance must be proactive, with management instilling a quality culture within the organisation. We consider we have achieved this within our firm. Quality assurance is not about the rejection of work after completion, but the building of quality into the advice by the design of work procedures, which are fully documented.
We have regular meetings of all professional staff which ensures communication and sharing of knowledge between valuers on all matters relating to valuation, market conditions, legislation and policy changes in systems and procedures.
Continual liaison between professional staff enables adequate resource allocation during the course of an engagement, as well as ensuring timely delivery.
Supporting our valuation team is a dedicated administration division having the knowledge and technical support to enable professional staff to expedite the more complex and highly technical valuation tasks.
