Areas of Expertise

  • In the agricultural sector, I handled projects related to the development and enhancement of farms, processing plants, and related infrastructure. My role included preparing cost estimates, budgeting, and managing procurement processes. I worked closely with agricultural engineers and stakeholders to ensure that the projects met specific functional needs and regulatory requirements, optimising resource use and sustainability practices.

  • In the commercial sector, I worked on a variety of projects including office buildings, retail spaces, and mixed-use developments. My responsibilities included cost estimation, tendering, contract administration, and financial management. I facilitated value engineering exercises to optimize project costs without compromising quality and ensured that the projects adhered to both budgetary constraints and client specifications.

  • My work in the industrial sector involved managing large-scale projects such as factories, warehouses, and production facilities. This required a deep understanding of the specialised needs and technical requirements of industrial construction. I was responsible for cost planning, procurement, risk management, and financial reporting, ensuring that projects met stringent timelines and budgetary goals while adhering to industry standards.

  • In the residential sector, my role focused on managing costs related to housing projects, ranging from single-family homes to large apartment complexes. This involved preparing detailed estimates, budgets, and cost plans, as well as conducting feasibility studies. I ensured compliance with local building regulations and standards while coordinating with architects, contractors, and clients to deliver projects within budget and on time.
