I worked as an Estimation Engineer at QTO for five years, specializing in construction cost estimation, quantity takeoffs, and project budgeting for residential and commercial developments. My role involved analyzing architectural and structural drawings, preparing detailed Bills of Quantities (BOQs), calculating accurate material and labor costs, and maintaining up-to-date market pricing for all project components. I collaborated closely with architects, engineers, and project managers to ensure estimates aligned with design intent, identify cost-saving opportunities through value engineering, and provide realistic budgets that minimized financial risks and supported informed client decisions. During my tenure, I also assisted in tender preparation, bid evaluation, and cost comparison to help clients secure the most competitive and suitable options. I developed proficiency in estimation software, spreadsheets, and industry-standard techniques to streamline workflows and maintain accuracy. By managing multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines, I honed my ability to deliver reliable, well-structured, and professional cost estimation services. This experience equips me to provide clients with transparent, practical, and results-driven budgeting and estimation solutions for any construction project.
