Construction Estimator | Quantity Surveyor | Takeoff Specialist

Are you losing 10% of your project margin to hidden errors between the drawing and the final invoice? Most construction projects don't fail on-site; they fail in the office. Inaccurate takeoffs, unmanaged price spikes, and messy spreadsheets create profit leaks that most firms don't see until it’s too late I am a Commercial Lead with BSc in Quantity Surveying and MSc in Procurement and Supply Chain Management. I help global developers and contractors maximize ROI by combining executive-level project management with modern cost analytics. I don't just count materials; I manage the entire financial life-cycle of your construction project. WHAT I BRING TO YOUR PROJECT: ● PRECISION COSTING & ESTIMATION: I oversee detailed takeoffs and high-precision estimates. My process integrates PlanSwift and Bluebeam with RSMeans for market-accurate pricing and Xactimate for specialized restoration and insurance-grade estimates. ● COMMERCIAL OVERSIGHT: As a PMP-trained lead, I provide the strategic "Big Picture." I identify cost overruns before they happen, utilizing PMI’s global standards to manage project risks, schedules, and stakeholder communications effectively. ● STRATEGIC PROCUREMENT: I apply CIPS (Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply) frameworks to optimize your supply chain, mitigate material price volatility, and manage vendor relationships on a global scale. ● DATA-DRIVEN DECISION MAKING: I leverage modern Data Science, including Power BI Dashboards and Advanced Excel to track KPIs, variance analysis, and cost forecasting, giving you the clarity needed for executive-level decisions. ● PROFESSIONAL ETHICS: As a Probationer member of the NIQS, I adhere to strict professional codes (RICS-aligned), ensuring transparency and accuracy in every commercial report. TECHNICAL PROFICIENCIES ●MANAGEMENT: PMP (Project Management), CIPS (Procurement), Commercial Leadership. ​●SOFTWARE: MS Project, Power BI, PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, Xactimate, Advanced Excel. ●Standards I use: FIDIC, NRM2, CSI MasterFormat, RSMeans, SMM7. My Goal is to get your team out of "data hunting" and into Data-Driven Leadership. I protect your margins so you can focus on building. Ready to get your numbers right?
