What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Quantity Surveyor and Construction Manager with four years of experience delivering accurate cost estimates and managing multiple projects across residential and commercial sectors.

I am proficient with industry software and regularly conduct site visits to identify challenges and recommend practical, cost-efficient solutions.
I am committed to high-quality results and strong stakeholder relationships, with Lean Six Sigma White and Yellow Belt training and certifications in construction safety and project management. I am willing to relocate anywhere and seek opportunities where I can apply my estimating, management, and process-improvement skills to deliver measurable project value.
