Let’s work together.

Are inaccurate estimates, missed quantities, and bidding errors costing you projects and profits?

I help contractors, builders, developers, architects, and estimating firms prepare accurate material takeoffs (MTO), quantity takeoffs (QTO), CSI-format Bills of Quantities (BOQ), and construction cost estimates that improve bid accuracy, reduce costly overruns, and support profitable project delivery.

I am a Civil Engineer and Quantity Surveyor with over 6 years of experience in Quantity Surveying, Construction Estimating, QA/QC, and Project Management. Having worked directly on construction sites and project execution, I understand how materials are actually built, installed, and measured—not just how they appear on drawings.

My experience and proficiency in using estimating software like PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu allows me to produce practical, reliable, well-organized quantity takeoff, and accurate cost estimates that my clients can confidently use for tendering, budgeting, procurement, and project planning process.

I am a Civil Engineering graduate with a specialization in Structural Engineering, with hands-on
experience in both design and cost estimation. I started my career as an AutoCAD Operator at
Menchavez Engineering Services, where I prepared detailed technical drawings, performed structural analysis using STAAD, and created 3D models in SketchUp.
