Quantity Surveyor Civil Engineer | Take -Off Specialist

My estimating role reflects hands-on, end-to-end estimating capability, not limited to basic quantity take-offs. I were involved in measurement, pricing, validation, and bid support, supported by site exposure and digital estimating tools. This experience demonstrates: • Strong alignment between estimating and actual construction execution • Ability to produce reliable, buildable, and cost-aware estimates • Readiness for Estimator or Cost Engineer roles, including remote estimating positions

I utilized PlanSwift as a primary estimating and take-off tool to perform accurate, detailed, and efficient quantity breakdowns for construction projects across various scopes. My use of the software supported both pre-contract estimating and cost control by converting plans and specifications into measurable, priced quantities. • Performed digital quantity take-offs directly from architectural and structural drawings, ensuring accuracy and consistency across project estimates • Broke down project scopes into measurable work items for substructure, superstructure, and architectural fit-out works • Generated precise quantities for earthworks, concrete works, reinforcement, formworks, and finishes based on scaled plans • Organized take-offs using custom assemblies and work breakdown structures to align quantities with estimating and bidding requirements • Verified and cross-checked quantities to minimize errors and prevent scope omissions Estimating & Cost Integration • Exported PlanSwift quantities into cost worksheets and pricing templates for unit rate analysis and total project costing • Supported preparation of accurate project budgets, bid estimates, and proposal pricing • Used PlanSwift outputs to validate quantities during site inspections and scope clarification discussions Accuracy & Efficiency Impact • Improved speed and reliability of quantity take-offs compared to manual methods • Reduced estimation discrepancies by maintaining consistent measurement standards • Enabled timely submission of competitive and well-supported project estimates

I have served as a Quantity Surveyor in both current and previous roles, with responsibilities covering pre-contract and post-contract functions, cost control, and coordination across engineering and construction teams. My experience spans estimating, budgeting, procurement support, and cost monitoring across multiple project phases. Core Responsibilities and Functions • Cost Estimation & Pricing • Conducted detailed quantity take-offs and prepared cost estimates for substructure and superstructure works, including earthworks, concrete works, reinforcement, formworks, and architectural fit-out works • Performed unit price analyses and comprehensive cost breakdowns incorporating overhead, contingencies, contractor’s profit, taxes, and miscellaneous pricing components • Prepared project proposal budgets aligned with scope, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness requirements Materials, Labor & Equipment Analysis • Analyzed required materials, labor, and equipment to develop accurate project budgets and resource plans • Validated quantities through plan reviews and site inspections to ensure alignment between design intent and actual site conditions Procurement & Commercial Support • Supported procurement processes by preparing material quantity requirements and cost data • Coordinated with suppliers and subcontractors to verify pricing, availability, and technical compliance • Assisted in evaluating subcontractor quotations and pricing proposals Documentation & Contract Support • Prepared and reviewed CSA plans, RFIs, cost estimates, variation orders, and subcontractor pricing documents • Assisted in resolving scope discrepancies and clarifying contractual and technical issues • Maintained accurate cost records to support reporting and management decisions Site Coordination & Cost Control • Conducted site inspections to confirm work progress, validate quantities, and address scope-related queries • Worked closely with project supervisors, engineers, designers, and vendors to control costs and minimize variations during execution

I served as a Project Supervisor / Assistant Project In-Charge with responsibilities covering end-to-end project execution. My role extended beyond site supervision and included planning, coordination, reporting, and control functions. I managed multiple projects simultaneously and acted as a key link between management, subcontractors, and clients. My core responsibilities included: • Overall site supervision and daily project execution • Monitoring construction progress against schedules and targets •Coordinating subcontractors, suppliers, and site personnel • Reviewing work quality and ensuring compliance with plans, specifications, and standards • Preparing accomplishment and progress reports • Attending client, coordination, and technical meetings • Supporting project planning, sequencing, and resource allocation • Enforcing safety requirements and quality control measures

In my roles as a Quantity Surveyor, I carried direct responsibility for project costing, budget development, and cost control across pre-construction and execution phases. My obligations went beyond measurement and extended into financial accuracy, pricing strategy, and cost reliability. Core Costing Responsibilities Project Cost Development • Prepared detailed project cost estimates and proposal budgets based on verified quantities, drawings, and specifications • Developed complete cost structures covering materials, labor, equipment, overhead, contingencies, taxes, and contractor’s profit Unit Price & Cost Breakdown Analysis • Conducted unit price analyses to establish realistic and competitive rates • Broke down work items into cost components to support transparent pricing and bid justification • Ensured pricing accuracy aligned with market conditions and project requirements Budget Control & Cost Monitoring • Supported cost control during project execution by validating quantities against actual site progress • Assisted in monitoring budget utilization and identifying potential cost overruns or savings • Flagged scope gaps and cost risks early to minimize financial exposure Procurement & Pricing Support • Prepared cost data to support procurement of materials and subcontracted works • Reviewed supplier and subcontractor quotations for pricing accuracy, scope completeness, and cost competitiveness • Assisted in cost comparison and evaluation of alternative materials or methods Variation & Cost Adjustment Support • Prepared and reviewed variation order costings resulting from scope changes, design revisions, or site conditions • Supported documentation of cost impacts to ensure fair valuation and proper approval Cost Validation Through Site Exposure • Conducted site inspections to confirm quantities, work scope, and constructability • Used site feedback to refine estimates and improve future cost accuracy
