What to check when hiring quantity surveyors in the United States
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.
- Contractor licensing in the US is set by each state (and sometimes the city or county). For electrical, plumbing, HVAC or any major build, confirm the trade is licensed on your state's licensing board before hiring. Unlicensed work where a license is required can void permits and insurance and leave you no recourse.
- Ask for a lien waiver as you pay each stage: in most US states an unpaid contractor or subcontractor can place a mechanic's lien on your home even if you already paid the main contractor, and a signed waiver is your protection.
- 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, itemized 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 contractor’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- In the US this work is usually done by a construction cost estimator or cost consultant: it is not a state-licensed role, so judge them on credentials: AACE International certification (Certified Cost Professional / Certified Estimating Professional) or RICS membership.
- Confirm relevant experience for your project type, and that they are independent of the contractor whose bid they are checking.
- Ask for professional liability (E&O) insurance and a written scope (cost estimate, bid leveling, cost plan, or full QS services).
- Ask to see sample cost reports and references for comparable work.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- Claims to be 'state-licensed': the role isn't licensed in the US, so treat that as a warning sign.
- Tied to the contractor they are supposed to be checking (a clear conflict of interest).
- No recognized cost-estimating credential and no relevant references.
- Vague about exactly what they will deliver.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What cost-estimating credential do you hold (AACE, RICS)?
- Are you independent of the contractor bidding this job?
- Do you carry professional liability (E&O) insurance?
- Exactly what will you deliver, and by when?
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.
