Departmental Profile
Research and allied scholarly work in the Department falls
under two broad themes of property and construction.
Four research groups examine issues related to
infrastructure delivery, construction industry development,
emerging property markets, and facilities management.
A number of cross cutting themes provide diversity and
smaller research interest groups; these themes include
sustainability, project management, human development,
procurement, entrepreneurship and teaching and learning.
Strong research links exist with academic institutions in
the United Kingdom, Australia, United States of America,
Central and East Africa, and India, as well as with
institutions within South Africa.
During 2011, papers were presented at key international
conferences in Port Elizabeth, Salford, Bristol and The
Netherlands. In addition, a number of papers were published
in peer-reviewed local and international journals, frequently
with international co-authorship, underlining the Department’s
international profile and collaborative research philosophy.
Nationally, the Department continues its engagement with
local and international organisations. These include:
• The Association of South African Quantity Surveyors
on the Standard System and Chapter Committees;
• The South African Council for the Quantity Surveying
Profession as Council Members and on the Education
Standards and Research Sub-Committee;
• The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors on the
World Regional Board, the Education Standards Board
and on the MENEA Region Education Standards
Board;
• EU Framework 7 SME Thematic Area as the Assistant
National Contact Point;
• The South African Facilities Management Association;
• The South African Property Owners Association; and
• The Construction Industry Development Board.
Research endeavours by individual staff have been
good in terms of higher degree graduates, attracting
research funding, and research outputs. The staff received
research funding from a variety of sources in 2011,
namely: the University Research Committee, the National
Research Foundation (NRF), and the Construction Industry
Development Board. In addition, the department boasts a
“B2” NRF-rated researcher.
