It was a privilege to join RICS, Oryx University, and Liverpool John Moores University in celebrating the accreditation of the Quantity Surveying and Cost & Contracts Engineering degree programme in Qatar.

This achievement represents more than academic recognition. It reflects a shared commitment to advancing professional standards, strengthening industry-academic collaboration, and preparing future leaders for the evolving built environment sector.

Accredited programmes play a vital role in equipping students with the technical expertise, ethical foundations, and global perspective required to meet the challenges and opportunities of our industry.

I would like to congratulate everyone involved in making this milestone possible. It was inspiring to engage with fellow professionals, academic leaders, and students who will contribute to shaping the future of the profession.

I look forward to seeing the positive impact this programme will have on the next generation of quantity surveyors, engineers, and construction professionals.

I had the pleasure of moderating a timely RICS webinar titled:

“Professional Judgement and Dispute Avoidance in Commercial Real Estate During Periods of Uncertainty: Negotiation and Appropriate Use of ADR in the Middle East Built Environment.”

A sincere thank you to Yasmine Nashawati for organizing and leading this initiative, and to our excellent panelists Noura Yassin MRICS, Simon Townsend FRICS, and Benjamin Cullum MRICS for a thoughtful and highly practical discussion.

The session focused on an increasingly important challenge facing commercial real estate professionals today:

How can advisors, valuers, and industry stakeholders maintain sound professional judgement, clear communication, and constructive engagement during periods of market uncertainty while reducing the risk of disputes?

Some of my key takeaways from the discussion:

Professional judgement must remain balanced and evidence-based
In uncertain markets, strong judgement depends on transparency, consistency, and a clear rationale behind every opinion and recommendation.
Clear communication reduces misunderstanding
Explaining assumptions, sensitivities, and market uncertainty openly is essential in managing expectations and maintaining trust.
Early dialogue is often the best form of dispute avoidance
Constructive engagement between advisors, clients, and counterparties can prevent many disagreements from escalating unnecessarily.
ADR should be viewed as a professional tool, not a last resort
Mediation and other ADR mechanisms can preserve relationships, save time, and provide more proportionate outcomes when handled appropriately.
Good governance and professional conduct matter most during uncertainty
Structured processes, documentation, and ethical decision-making are critical safeguards in volatile environments.

For me, one of the strongest messages from the session was this:

Disputes are often avoided not by stronger positions, but by stronger communication, earlier engagement, and better professional judgement.

Thank you again to RICS, Yasmine, and all the panelists for such a valuable discussion.

Recording available now on my YouTube channel.

I had the pleasure of moderating a very timely RICS webinar titled:

“Professional Judgement and Dispute Avoidance in Commercial Real Estate During Periods of Uncertainty: Negotiation and Appropriate Use of ADR in the Middle East Built Environment.”

A big thank you to Yasmine Nashawati for organizing and leading this initiative, and to our excellent panelists Noura Yassin MRICS, Simon Townsend FRICS, and Benjamin Cullum MRICS for a thoughtful and practical discussion.

The session explored one of the most important questions facing valuers and real estate professionals today:

How do we exercise professional judgement in uncertain markets without drifting into speculation, over-caution, or unsupported subjectivity?

Some of my key takeaways:

1. Valuation is a professional opinion, not a fact
But that opinion must be anchored in evidence, analysis, experience, and transparent reasoning.

2. The valuer reflects the market; the valuer does not make the market
In volatile periods, this becomes especially important. We need to listen through the noise without creating artificial signals.

3. Caution is necessary, but inertia is dangerous
Valuers should not move ahead of the market, but they also cannot lag so far behind that the valuation becomes disconnected from current reality.

4. Assumptions are often where disputes begin
Whether dealing with assumptions, special assumptions, or material uncertainty, the key is clarity, reasonableness, and proper disclosure.

5. Methodological flexibility is acceptable — reverse-engineering is not
There is room for “sensible informed flex” in uncertain markets, but methodology should never be changed simply to achieve a desired result.

6. Red Book compliance is a first line of defence
However, procedural compliance alone is not enough. The technical judgement, evidence base, and reporting must also stand up to scrutiny.

7. Good governance reduces dispute risk
Second reviews, valuation committees, QA processes, stress testing, and clear documentation are not bureaucracy. They are essential safeguards.

For me, the strongest message was this:

A valuation conclusion is only as strong as the reasoning, assumptions, evidence, and communication behind it.

Thank you again to RICS, Yasmine, and the panelists for such a valuable discussion.
