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 trader’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Check they hold MRICS or FRICS status: verify free on rics.org/find-a-member; anyone can call themselves a QS without it.
- Check their firm is RICS-regulated at ricsfirms.com: a regulated firm must have a complaints procedure, dispute resolution access, and client money protection.
- Confirm they carry professional indemnity insurance before signing anything; RICS-regulated firms must hold it, unregulated ones may not.
- Ask whether they specialise in residential work: loft conversions and extensions need different expertise than commercial projects.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- They can't show MRICS or FRICS membership: the title 'quantity surveyor' is unprotected in UK law, so anyone can use it.
- They have commercial ties to a contractor or builder, which means they're not truly on your side when scrutinising valuations.
- No professional indemnity insurance: if their cost plan is wrong and you lose money, you have no route to claim it back.
- Estimates that seem unusually low and vague with no written breakdown: a cheap guess is as damaging as no plan at all.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you MRICS or FRICS chartered, and can I verify your membership on the RICS website?
- Is your firm RICS-regulated, and do you hold professional indemnity insurance with run-off cover?
- Have you handled projects similar to mine: same type, size, and build complexity?
- If my self-build lender needs a stage-payment valuation, will your report satisfy their requirements?
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.
