A well-playing project estimator involved in retail fit-outs, house refurbishment, and dilapidation and demolition projects under all sectors. Expertise in quantity surveying, cost management, and estimation. An astute individual seeks knowledge of quantity surveying, costing and estimation across construction lifecycles. Believe proper questions and clear communication are the keys to effective solutions. The first trait I list for myself as an introduction is the ability to dive effortlessly into critical thinking on any aspectual problems that come in front.
