Member Spotlight: Nick Clements

Posted on Wednesday 05 February, 2025

Over 20 years ago, driven by frustration with existing technology and its integration challenges, Nick Clements embarked on creating a groundbreaking digital solution tailored to industry needs.

Despite facing setbacks, such as the challenges of his previous business, BISCO, Nick demonstrated resilience by pivoting to a service model as Managing Director of YourQS. This shift has enabled the company to grow from a one-person operation to a team of 12, serving over 300 builders nationwide and expanding into Australia.

Nick was recognised for his years of dedication and innovation by winning the Revizto Digital Technology | Matihiko Award at the 2024 NZ Building People Awards.


We asked Nick a few questions to get to know him better.
