What to check when hiring 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 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
- For boundary, subdivision or title work you need a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor, regulated under the Cadastral Survey Act and licensed by the Cadastral Surveyors Licensing Board (CSLB): confirm their licence.
- For building set-out or levels a survey firm can help, but legal boundary definition must be done by a licensed cadastral surveyor.
- Check professional indemnity insurance and a clear written scope and fee.
- Ask how long the work takes, as subdivision and title surveys involve council and LINZ processing.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Defines a legal boundary or subdivision without being a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor.
- No professional indemnity insurance, or a vague scope and fee.
- Unclear about council and LINZ steps and timeframes.
- A large cash deposit, or no written agreement.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor for this boundary or subdivision work?
- What's the scope, fee and realistic timeline, including council and LINZ?
- Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
- What deliverables and plans will I receive?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy 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 surveyor backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend surveyors for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. 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 surveyor?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the 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.
