Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
With over decade of experience in the construction industry, I specialize in estimating, quantity surveying, and contract management. My expertise lies in delivering cost-effective solutions, optimizing project resources, and ensuring successful outcomes for diverse construction projects. I have worked with leading firms in Philippines, Singapore, and remotely with a top U.S. contractor, refining my ability to navigate international work environments and collaborate with high-performing teams. Proficient in estimating software like On-Screen Takeoff, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam, I bring technical accuracy and strategic insight to every project. Passionate about precision, problem-solving, and delivering value, I look forward to connecting with industry professionals and exploring new challenges.
