We have successfully delivered a wide variety of projects since the QUBE brand was started in 2016.
Working collaboratively in a team culture is vital to all successful projects. We strive to streamline processes and eliminate duplication, which in turn saves time and costs for all stakeholders.
I began my QS career back in 1991 and became a Registered QS in 2011. I have been a member of the New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors for over 20 years. In 2019 I was very proud to be recognized by NZIQS and awarded Fellow membership status.
I look after the day to day running of the business keeping a close eye on all projects.
We would like to hear about your next exciting project.
