Christine Joy Baloro

I am a results-driven Civil Engineer with over 3 years of experience in project cost control, budgeting, and contract administration across residential and commercial construction projects. My expertise lies in managing costs, preparing forecasts, and ensuring contractual compliance to help projects stay on time and within budget.

As a Cost Engineer and Contracts Administrator, I’ve successfully implemented cost-tracking systems, reduced project cost variances by 15%, and recovered over $150K in claims through proactive contract management. My experience includes preparing variation and extension of time (EOT) claims, reviewing subcontractor billings, and developing detailed financial reports to support informed decision-making.

I am highly proficient in MS Excel, Google Workspace, and AutoCAD, and have a solid background in developing Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), cost codes, and budget breakdowns for multi-million-peso projects. My analytical approach and attention to detail allow me to identify risks early and recommend corrective actions that improve profitability and project performance.

Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with multidisciplinary teams and international clients in both on-site and remote setups, ensuring clear communication and efficient coordination. I’m passionate about helping construction firms and engineering companies streamline their processes, reduce costs, and deliver successful projects.

If you’re looking for a dedicated and proactive cost control or contract administration professional, I’d love to contribute my skills to your team and help you achieve your project goals.
