Celebrating Success: Introducing Our Newest Graduates

MATT HYDE: BQH since 2021

Matt Hyde’s story with BQH reflects the qualities that drive success in the construction industry: resilience, integrity, and courage. He joined the team in 2021 after completing his diploma and quickly proved himself as a key player. With BQH's support, Matt took on the challenging task of working full-time while earning his degree part-time over three years—a true demonstration of his dedication and work ethic.

Now focused on becoming a member of both the New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NZIQS) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), Matt continues to advance his skills and expertise.

When he’s not on-site or crunching numbers, Matt is just as competitive off the clock. Known (allegedly) as BQH’s top golfer, he’s also a former New Zealand swimming representative, proving his drive extends beyond the workplace.

OLLY McGHEE: BQH since 2023

Olly is quickly building a strong reputation, in quantity surveying, successfully balancing full-time work with academic studies to build a strong foundation in the field. His journey showcases determination and resilience, highlighted by earning his degree while managing major projects like the Earthworks for a New School and the Community Centre Reclad.

Olly’s enthusiasm for quantity surveying shines in his ability to turn classroom knowledge into real-world solutions. At BQH, he has sharpened his analytical and project management skills, positioning himself for professional memberships with NZIQS and RICS.

With a dedication to learning and a disciplined approach, Olly is ready to take on new challenges and make a lasting impact in the industry.
