Lembaga Juruukur Bahan Malaysia (LJBM) or
the Board of Quantity Surveyors Malaysia (BQSM)
is a statutory body, established by an Act
of Parliament namely the Registration of Quantity
Surveyors Act 1967 (also known as Quantity
Surveyors Act 1967), responsible for:
i)
the
registration of Quantity Surveyors and firms
and bodies corporate practising as consulting
Quantity Surveyors; and
ii)
the
regulation of the quantity surveying profession
in Malaysia,
with
the aim of safeguarding the interests of the
public and the rights of registered Quantity
Surveyors and Quantity Surveying practices.
Prior
to 1982, LJBM was known as the Board of Surveyors
which was set up under the Registration of
Surveyors Act of 1967. The said Board of Surveyors
was charged with the responsibilty of regulating
of both the quantity surveying and valuation
professions in the country. In 1981, amendments
were made to the Registration of Surveyors
Act of 1967 to rename it as the "Registration
of Quantity Surveyors Act of 1967" and
the Board of Surveyors as the "Board
of Quantity Surveyors", also known as
Lembaga Juruukur Bahan Malaysia in the national
language.
Amendments
have been made to the Quantity Surveyors Act
and the Quantity Surveying Rules from time
to time with a view of further improving the
statutory provisions regulating the quantity
surveying profession.
In
order to safeguard the interests of the public,
only suitably qualified persons are registered
with the Board and are permitted to offer
quantity surveying services. Besides sole
proprietorships and partnerships, the Board
also registers bodies corporate which provide
consulting quantity surveying services. It
also acts upon complaints against registered
Quantity Surveyors who have infringed the
code of professional conduct as laid down
in the Quantity Surveying Rules which were
gazetted in accordance with section 26 of
the Quantity Surveyors Act 1967.
It
is hoped that with the role played by LJBM,
the expectations of the public in terms of
quality service to be provided by quantity
surveyors in Malaysia can be met and as a
result the interests of both the public and
the profession can be adequately protected.
