A newly formed lobby group representing architects and quantity surveyors has protested the sharp increase in fees for the upcoming Continuous Professional Development (CPD) seminar scheduled for early May.

In a notice, the Board of Registration of Architects and Quantity Surveyors (BORAQS) announced it had raised the cost of the May 8-9 seminar from the current Sh20,000 to Sh30,000 for all registered professionals, regardless of discipline.
