Profile Description: I am an experienced Quantity Surveyor and Estimator proficient in leading industry software including Bluebeam Revu, CostX, and Planswift to deliver accurate, efficient, and detailed quantity takeoffs, cost estimations, and Bill of Quantities (BOQs) for a wide range of construction projects. In addition to traditional quantity surveying and estimation, I offer specialized expertise in Autodesk Civil 3D for precise land cut and fill volume calculations, enabling optimized earthworks planning and cost control for civil engineering and site development projects. Core Competencies: Quantity Takeoff & Estimation: Accurate measurement and quantification of materials from architectural, structural, and MEP drawings using Bluebeam, CostX, and Planswift. I ensure comprehensive coverage of all project components to develop reliable BOQs and cost plans. Cost Planning & Budgeting: Preparation of detailed cost breakdowns, tender documents, and value engineering reports. I provide clients with actionable insights to manage budgets effectively and reduce risks of cost overruns. Civil 3D Land Cut and Fill Volume Calculations: Using Civil 3D, I generate detailed surface models and calculate cut and fill volumes for earthworks projects, assisting in site grading, excavation planning, and material movement optimization. This helps clients save on transport and disposal costs while maintaining design intent. Tender & Contract Support: Evaluation of subcontractor bids, preparation of tender packages, variation cost analysis, and contract administration support. Reporting & Collaboration: Clear and professional reporting with visual aids like 3D models, volume tables, and cross-sections. I collaborate closely with project teams, engineers, and contractors to ensure smooth project delivery.

I help General Contractors, EPC firms, and Owners build execution-ready projects before construction begins. Control. Transparency. Structure. That’s how complex construction projects stay aligned, controlled, and delivered successfully. I build execution systems that bring these three elements into projects where coordination, cost, schedule, procurement, and risk must be managed—not assumed. With 16+ years of experience across residential, hospitality, industrial, heavy civil, infrastructure, and mission-critical construction, I lead multidisciplinary teams of engineers and specialists in complex, fast-track environments where execution cannot be left to chance. I operate at the intersection of preconstruction and field execution—translating drawings, specifications, contracts, and owner requirements into buildable scopes, sequencing logic, procurement strategies, and execution-ready work packages aligned with how projects are actually delivered. My work focuses on aligning scope, cost, schedule, constructability, procurement, and project controls into a single coordinated system—where every activity is defined, every dependency is visible, every risk is identified early, and every outcome is measurable. My experience spans mission-critical and industrial programs, including fast-track data center support works, large-scale water infrastructure, marine construction, mechanical piping, demolition, and complex field fabrication. I have also led residential and hospitality projects, including luxury developments and multi-year renovation programs—providing a practical understanding of construction execution across diverse sectors. I take ownership across the complete preconstruction–execution interface, including: Construction sequencing and schedule development QTO / BoQ development and cost structuring RFQ / RFP preparation, procurement strategy, and bid evaluation Proposal development and tender documentation Executive summaries, qualifications, assumptions, exclusions, and clarifications Scope validation and subcontractor coordination Technical risk identification across civil, structural, architectural, MEP, and process systems Bid package QA/QC and submission readiness Alongside this, I lead and coordinate engineering, estimating, and procurement teams—structuring workflows, validating deliverables, and ensuring alignment between design intent, commercial strategy, cost logic, procurement, and field execution. I also develop Project Management Information Systems (PMIS), project workflows, procurement tracking systems, reporting dashboards, and standardized documentation that improve visibility, accountability, and decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. My approach combines PMBOK® methodology with real-world construction execution—sequencing work as it is actually built, identifying risks before they become costly problems, and creating clear, traceable systems that support confident decision-making. I don't rely on rigid software or predefined processes. I build execution frameworks that adapt to the project—not the other way around. I don't wait for structure—I create it.
