What to check when hiring quantity surveyors in Australia
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.
- Trade and building licensing in Australia is set by each state or territory. Check the relevant regulator (e.g. NSW Fair Trading, QBCC in Queensland, VBA in Victoria) that the contractor holds a current licence for the work type and value before you hire.
- For larger residential building work, confirm the contractor carries the home-building / domestic-building insurance your state requires before you pay a deposit. It is what protects you if the work is left unfinished or defective.
- 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 manages a building project's cost: budgets, tender pricing, and valuing the builder's payments as work proceeds. On a major build check membership of the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS) or RICS (letters MAIQS or MRICS), and verify it on their register.
- For a tax depreciation schedule, the ATO requires a suitably qualified quantity surveyor: confirm they provide ATO-compliant schedules if that's what you need.
- Ask for comparable projects of similar size and type, and how the fee is set (a percentage of build cost or a fixed fee).
- Confirm professional indemnity insurance: the standard cover for cost-advice professionals.
Warning signs of a dodgy tradie
- Describes themselves as an accredited quantity surveyor but is not on the AIQS or RICS register.
- Offers a tax depreciation schedule without being a qualified QS the ATO recognises.
- Can't explain how the fee is calculated, or wants a large fee before any scope is agreed.
- No professional indemnity insurance, or no comparable project experience for a build of your size.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you a member of AIQS or RICS, and what is the name I can verify on the register?
- How is your fee structured: a percentage of build cost or a fixed fee?
- Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
- Can you show comparable projects to mine (or, for depreciation, ATO-recognised schedules)?
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.
