Summary

I am an emerging Quantity Surveyor with 2 years of industry experience, supported by a strong academic foundation in Quantity Surveying and Construction Management. My experience spans both office and site environments, where I have contributed to cost planning, tender preparation, contract administration and project budgeting across residential and commercial developments. I am energetic and detailed-oriented, I am passionate about the Built Environment and committed to continuous learning. I am now seeking an opportunity that will further enhance my skills, expose me to more complex project work, and allow me to contribute meaningfully to dynamic and challenging work environments.
