We’re thrilled to be hosting a DataDive March 3-5 and are looking for data pros of all backgrounds to roll up their sleeves and work side by side with experts from the 92Y, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Facebook to help use data to unravel tough questions and prototype new solutions. #GivingTuesday is a movement to celebrate giving of all kinds. Founded by 92Y in 2012 and celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, #GivingTuesday inspires people around the world to take collaborative action to improve their local communities and contribute in countless ways to the causes they believe in. On #GivingTuesday 2016, individuals, corporations and civic coalitions raised over $170 million to benefit a tremendously broad range of causes, and gave much more in volunteer hours, nonmonetary donations, and acts of kindness.

This standard has been written by a group of independent industry leaders. The International Construction Measurement Standards Coalition (ICMSC) is a growing group of more than 40 professional and not-for-profit organisations from around the world, working together to develop and implement international standards for benchmarking, measuring and reporting construction project cost. About the ICMS coalition The ICMSC Standards Setting Committee comprises 27 independent experts from 17 countries. They were appointed by the coalition to draft, consult and produce the new International Construction Measurement Standards. Find out how companies are benefitting from using ICMS ICMS Explained ICMS Explained, a user guide for the below International Construction Measurement Standards, is a technical document that sets out the purpose, context and philosophy of ICMS. This practical resource will equip quantity surveyors and cost consultants to deliver cost estimates and financial reports in line with ICMS. Practitioners will find the below guide valuable as a reference document to address questions of the terminology used and how ICMS rules could apply to a specific project situation. The user guide also sets out how ICMS is used in practice by drawing on and illustrating real examples of where it is already in use. Download the guides: ICMS User Guide: Intended for use by RICS and other relevant professionals to apply the standards. The guide provides the background, structure, content and potential use for ICMS, together with various appendices, which provide further and more detailed guidance and worked examples. Appendix A Mapping to NRM 1: This excel document maps across the NRM 1 cost groups to those which are now presented in ICMS, such that a valid interface can be achieved when comparing historic cost classification data. A PDF version of Appendix A is included in the ICMS User Guide. Appendix B Worked Examples: A selection of ‘live’ projects where the presentation of the cost classification data is illustrated in a form that aligns with ICMS, and adjusted as necessary to suit local circumstances. Worked Examples include examples of projects from Turkey, Australia, and Malaysia. A PDF version of Appendix B is included in the ICMS User Guide. ICMS Linked Excel Templates: This blank template allows practitioners to complete a cost report in accordance with the standard and with the Excel sheet formulae already embedded within. ICMS data standard Software developers and those requiring the use of structured data are advised to follow the schemas as defined, and those wishing to pursue RICS software certification must demonstrate compliance with this data standard. This data standard is an XML schema and is available to download.
