What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters growth.

I am a dedicated and hardworking Quantity Surveyor with over 15 years of international experience in overseeing construction projects. My expertise spans the development of hotels, shopping malls, luxury homes, and apartment buildings. I have a proven track record in estimating and managing costs efficiently, ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in cash flow forecasting, valuations, variations, and final accounts. My ability to manage subcontract accounts and prepare bills of quantities has been instrumental in my success. I pride myself on my strong analytical skills and attention to detail, which allow me to monitor ongoing contract costs effectively and ensure compliance with all contractual obligations.

In addition to my technical skills, I am an assertive leader who excels in high-pressure environments. I have experience chairing project-related meetings and negotiating with suppliers to procure high-value materials. I am passionate about youth mentorship and public speaking, which reflects my commitment to personal and professional growth.
