3. Alumni of bequest the board study rehearsing in the land calling can set up land counseling firms by enlisting a restricted risk organization with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) either as a sole owner or in organization with at least two individuals, to complete land and office the executives business exercises yet are banished from setting up an enrolled proficient home looking over and valuation office by NIESV and ESVARBON in light of the fact that they have not been chosen, enlisted, authorized and granted the authority stamp and seal to do similarly.
4. While the last option - enlisted Estate Surveyors and Valuers - then again are allowed and approved by NIESV and ESVARBON to do any as well as significantly a greater amount of those things which the previous can not do in the land calling since they have been properly chosen, authorized and enrolled with issuance of true stamp and seal in their names to do any deal and expert administrations connecting with home looking over and valuation exercises in Nigeria.
5. Enlisted Estate Surveyors and Valuers could either be Associate individuals or Fellows of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) and are likewise qualified and allowed for utilize the Estate Surveyor and Valuer (ESV) assignment before their names.
