The deadline to submit completed Built Environment Job Prospects Surveys has been extended to 30 November to enable more professionals from across the wider industry to have their say.
The two surveys, one for employees and one for employers, form a key plank of the ‘Map the Gap’ campaign to measure – or map – the skills gap and the findings will be revealed at the Map the Gap Spotlight+ event, which is taking place at the RICS HO on 2 February 2027.
The purpose of the Map the Gap campaign, which BE News is running in collaboration with Cobalt Recruitment and the University of the Built Environment and with support from non-commercial partners including the Built Environment Schools Trust, Built Environment Futures Assembly, The Land Collective and The HerEstate Network, is to map the skills gap and use the survey findings to inform creative and practical ways to close it.
The surveys take just three minutes to complete and everyone who submits a finished survey by 6pm on Monday 30 November will be automatically entered into a prize draw for a chance to win a cash prize. Just click the relevant below link by 30 November to have your say:

The more professionals from across the wider built environment industry who complete the surveys, the more robust and credible the findings will be, so spread the word and share the links with your colleagues, industry friends and networks.
We are also seeking headline and supporting sponsors for the ‘Map the Gap’ campaign and Spotlight+ event.
