%X Professional service firms employ strategic management (SM) in
achieving their long term goals. Estate valuation and surveying firms,
a subset of professional firms, are not an outlier in SM practices and
strategic management tools and techniques (SMTT) usage. The aim of
this paper is to predict the highest professional qualification of Estate
Surveyors and Valuers (ESVs) in Southwest Nigeria, applying the
degree of usage of strategic management tools and techniques
(SMTTs) and years of professional experience. In this context, the
highest professional qualification is being a Fellow of the Nigerian
Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (FNIESV), a step above
being an Associate (ANIESV). The data is from a field survey and
data mining models were used. The result showed that professional
status (FNIESV or ANIESV) could be classified based on SMTT
usage and years of professional experience. Adaptive boosting gave
the best classification accuracy, specificity, and other evolution
metrics.
