Need accurate quantities and a clean BOQ you can price from with confidence? I’m a construction estimator and quantity surveyor based in Dubai, with 8+ years of experience delivering material takeoffs, BOQs, and shop drawings for villas, buildings, bridges, roads, and water pipelaying projects. I’ve worked with clients in the UK and US, and I’m comfortable working to different drawing standards, units, and reporting formats. I work with contractors, developers, and consultants who need reliable numbers, fast. What I can do for you: - Material and quantity takeoffs from drawings - Bills of Quantities (BOQs) in organized, easy-to-price Excel format - Shop drawings and drafting in AutoCAD - Progress monitoring and percentage-completion tracking using your project data (Primavera) Project types: Villas | Commercial & residential buildings | Bridges | Roads | Water pipe networks Tools: Excel, AutoCAD, PlanSwift, Primavera Why work with me: - International experience: previous UK and US clients, so I’m used to remote collaboration across time zones. - Based in Dubai (GMT+4): good overlap with UK working hours, and I can deliver work for US clients. - Attention to detail: I check my takeoffs and flag drawing gaps or inconsistencies before they become costly pricing mistakes. - Clear process: scope, timeline, and deliverables agreed before I start. Send me your drawings and a short brief, and I’ll reply with what I need and an estimated turnaround time. Let’s talk about your project!
