The national average salary for a Chartered Surveyor is €71,000, according to a survey by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI).

The survey found that construction surveyors within the same experience category are earning €46,800, where most of the respondents were based in Dublin.

Two out of three chartered surveyors are confident of receiving a pay increase in the next 12 months while over half, (53%), said they received a pay rise in the past 12 months.

President of the SCSI, Claire Solon, said: "The fact so many chartered surveyors have received or are confident they will receive a pay rise highlights the positive mood which is returning to the property and construction sector as activity levels increase. Of course, the lack of suitable graduates entering the property and construction sectors is also a significant reason for the rise in pay levels as firms struggle to recruit more skilled staff and that is something we need to address urgently."
