Abstract: Two definitions for the rectfiability of hypersurfaces in Heisenberg groups $mathbb{H}^n$ have been proposed: one based on $mathbbH$-regular surfaces, and the other on Lipschitz images of subsets of codimension-$1$ vertical subgroups. The equivalence between these notions remains an open problem. Recent partial results are due to Cole-Pauls, Bigolin-Vittone, and Antonelli-Le Donne. This paper makes progress in one direction: the metric Lipschitz rectifiability of $mathbbH$-regular surfaces. We prove that $mathbbH$-regular surfaces in $mathbb{H}^n$ with $alpha$-H"older continuous horizontal normal, $alpha>0$, are metric bilipschitz rectifiable. This improves on the work by Antonelli-Le Donne, where the same conclusion was obtained for $C^{infty}$-surfaces. In $mathbb{H}^1$, we prove a slightly stronger result: every codimension-$1$ intrinsic Lipschitz graph with an $epsilon$ of extra regularity in the vertical direction is metric bilipschitz rectifiable. All the proofs in the paper are based on a new general criterion for finding bilipschitz maps between "big pieces" of metric spaces.
