What to check when hiring 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 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
- Be clear which surveyor you need: a registered/licensed land (cadastral) surveyor for boundaries and subdivisions, registered with your state's Surveyors Board, or a registered building surveyor who assesses building work and issues permits and certificates.
- For a pre-purchase property inspection, the report should be done to Australian Standard AS 4349.1: ask for it in writing.
- Confirm professional indemnity insurance and a valid ABN on the ABN Lookup (abr.business.gov.au).
- Get the scope, what the survey or report covers, and its limitations in writing before you engage them.
Warning signs of a dodgy tradie
- An unregistered person doing cadastral/boundary surveys, which by law require a licensed surveyor.
- A building or pre-purchase report not done to AS 4349.1, or that skips areas without saying so.
- No professional indemnity insurance.
- Vague on what the survey or report does and doesn't cover.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you a registered land surveyor or a registered building surveyor, and can I verify it?
- Will the report follow the relevant Australian Standard, and what does it cover?
- What are the limitations of this survey or inspection?
- Do you carry professional indemnity insurance, and what is your ABN?
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.
