A Reg. Quantity Surveyor

What is a "Reg. QS" ? Read More

An Independent Certifier (IC)

"The Independent Certifier (IC) acts fairly, impartially and independently in making Decisions. However, there are still situations when the IC will be authorised to act purely as the Principal’s agent (for example, when issuing payment schedules)."                  

Quoted from Anderson Lloyd's website.

"When reading through the contract and identifying the role of the IC, most people within the construction industry will observe that a large proportion of the activities are commercial in nature and therefore read like a quantity surveyor’s job description. Indeed, NZIQS asserts that a properly qualified QS belonging to a recognised professional association such as NZIQS will likely be the optimum candidate to perform the IC role. A Registered Quantity Surveyor is ideal."

STORY

In 2020, Mei embarked on a transformative journey, joining the academic staff at WITT in New Plymouth. Her impact was profound as she mentored and guided aspiring QS graduates, skillfully nurturing their development and ushering them into the industry by 2023. 


This fulfilling experience not only cemented Mei's unwavering commitment to education and mentorship but also left an indelible mark on the prestigious Base Hospital Project in Taranaki, where she applied her expertise with unwavering dedication. After making significant contributions to both the educational realm and the dynamic Taranaki Base Hospital project, Mei decided to script a new chapter in her illustrious career. 

This decision marked a significant milestone as she resurrected QBIMs Quantity Surveying Ltd. (QBIMs). QBIMs strives for collaboration through a Building Information Modelling (BIM) approach.                                                                                                     

It reflects Mei's relentless commitment to excellence and her visionary goal of imparting a positive impact on the construction industry.


Mei's professional philosophy is deeply intertwined with her core values, drawing profound inspiration from the wisdom of the Bible, Kazuo Inamori and Charlie Munger. Rooted in these principles, Mei steadfastly believes in the innate goodness of humanity and the transformative power of knowledge.
