What to check when hiring quantity surveyors in New Zealand
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters). Check the public register before you hire.
- For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the tradesperson's skills, licences and insurance. Ask for both before work starts.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemised quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
How to judge a quantity surveyor
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- A quantity surveyor estimates and manages building costs: look for membership of the New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NZIQS) for a qualified, accountable professional.
- Confirm exactly what they'll deliver (cost estimate, elemental budget, progress-claim checks) and that their figures suit a residential project.
- Check professional indemnity insurance and a clear written scope and fee.
- On a renovation or build, a QS works alongside your LBP builder and any architect or engineer: confirm how they coordinate.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- No recognised qualification or NZIQS membership for cost work you'll rely on.
- Vague on what's delivered, or a fee with no clear scope.
- No professional indemnity insurance.
- Estimates that don't reconcile with the builder's quotes or the design.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you a member of NZIQS?
- What exactly will you deliver, and how will it help control my costs?
- Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
- What's the fee, and how do you coordinate with the builder and designer?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy quantity surveyor?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A quantity surveyor backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend quantity surveyors for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Quantity surveyors are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a quantity surveyor?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the quantity surveyor, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
