The Ghana Institution of Surveyors (GhIS) was established on 28 February 1969. It is the leading source of professional advice on Landed Property and Construction in Ghana. It was established out of the Ghana Branch of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors following a resolution during the annual general meeting in 1969. Members of the Institute of Quantity Surveyors and the Licensed Surveyors Association practising in Ghana at the time were also incorporated at the beginning.
