As a Civil Engineer with 6+ years of experience in Quantity Surveying, I can help you prepare accurate quantity takeoffs, detailed BOQs, and reliable construction cost estimates to support competitive bids, reduce estimating errors, and minimize costly project overruns—I've completed 50+ full quantity takeoffs and BOQ preparations for residential and commercial projects. I also have hands-on experience as a Project-in-Charge, allowing me to prepare estimates that reflect real-world site execution. This field background means contractors, builders, developers, and estimating firms get takeoffs and BOQs they can trust for bidding, procurement, and cost control—not just software-generated quantities. My field experience enables me to deliver practical, accurate, and constructible estimates aligned with real project requirements.
