Zambia Institute of Quantity Surveyors (ZIQS): Elevating the Standard of Quantity Surveying in Zambia

The Zambia Institute of Quantity Surveyors (ZIQS), a professional organization representing quantity surveyors in Zambia, approached OSC with a vision to modernize their online presence and create a strong digital platform that would better serve their members, enhance communication, and promote the profession to a wider audience. While ZIQS had a respected standing within the industry, their website was outdated, difficult to navigate, and lacked the professional appeal needed to represent the prestigious profession of quantity surveying. The challenge was to design a website that would provide easy access to resources, strengthen the organization’s credibility, and foster a sense of community among quantity surveyors in Zambia.

OSC worked with ZIQS to develop a comprehensive digital strategy that would elevate their online presence and create a platform that serves the needs of both current members and prospective members.

We began by conducting thorough stakeholder interviews and reviewing ZIQS’s goals to understand the core functionalities needed for the website. Our solution was to create a modern, professional design that reflected the importance of quantity surveying in Zambia while enhancing the accessibility of the site.

We developed a clean, contemporary design with a focus on usability and professionalism. The new website was built to be responsive, ensuring that it looked great and worked smoothly across all devices, from desktop computers to smartphones. Key features included a member portal, resources section, and an events calendar, making it easier for members to access important documents, stay informed about industry events, and engage with the community.

Additionally, OSC worked on the website’s content strategy, ensuring that it not only served as a hub for professional resources but also clearly communicated ZIQS’s mission to promote quantity surveying as a profession, provide ongoing professional development, and strengthen the network of quantity surveyors in Zambia.

The Impact:
The new ZIQS website has had an immediate and lasting impact, providing a modern, user-friendly platform that facilitates better communication and improves accessibility for both members and the general public. The responsive design and streamlined user experience have made it easier for members to access important resources, register for events, and stay informed about industry developments.

The enhanced member portal has enabled a more efficient administrative process, allowing for smoother membership renewals, event registrations, and access to exclusive content. ZIQS’s improved online presence has also helped increase the organization’s credibility within the industry, attracting more professionals to join the institute and enhancing its visibility both locally and internationally.

The website has positioned ZIQS as a forward-thinking and reliable professional organization, providing a platform that not only supports its members but also advances the quantity surveying profession in Zambia. The streamlined communication tools have allowed for a more engaged community, helping ZIQS build stronger relationships with both current members and prospective ones.
