Results-Driven Construction Estimator | Building Client Trust Through Accurate Estimates & Clear Communication

I am a meticulous Construction Estimator with over 10 years of experience delivering accurate, cost-effective, and timely bids for residential / commercial and multi family projects across South Africa and the United States. While I specialize in the numbers—from cost estimation and quantity take-offs to tender preparation and bid management—my true passion lies in serving as a trusted partner to clients and teams, ensuring clarity and confidence at every stage.

I believe a great estimate is more than just a number; it's the foundation of a successful project and a strong client relationship. My approach is built on:

Client-Focused Collaboration: I act as a bridge between vision and budget, translating client goals into actionable financial plans. I prioritize clear, consistent communication to ensure you are never in the dark, managing RFIs and providing updates that build trust and prevent surprises.

Strategic Partnership & Value Engineering: My role extends beyond calculating costs to being a strategic advisor. Through diligent vendor negotiations and value engineering, I focus on securing the best possible value without compromising on quality, directly impacting your project's profitability.

Precision Enabled by Technology: I leverage advanced tools like Excel, SketchUp, and specialized PDF Take-Off software to guarantee estimating accuracy. My proficiency with remote collaboration platforms like ClickUp and SuiteSpot ensures seamless, efficient workflows, making me a fully integrated and effective member of any distributed team.

I am currently seeking remote opportunities where I can apply my blend of analytical expertise and client-service dedication to help your team secure more profitable projects and build a reputation for reliability and excellence.
