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 don't just count materials; I manage the entire financial life-cycle of your construction project.

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."
