What expertise and background do you bring to the table?
I started my career in a quantity surveying consultancy, focusing on Commercial Fitout’s and Residential Schemes for private Clients, I then joined a Circle as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor. Schemes I have worked on have been in the following sectors: Prime Residential, Commercial, Education and Biomedical Facilities.
I have experience in both pre contract & post contract duties.
Can you outline the responsibilities of your role?
As an Assistant Quantity Surveyor at Circle, I support in managing and executing the financial and contractual aspects of Projects through Pre-Construction to Post-Construction. I assist in cost estimation, budgeting, and the preparation of tender documents. I collaborate closely with the senior surveyors to ensure accurate project cost control and timely financial reporting, supporting the delivery of projects within budget and to the highest quality standards. I take pride in a good eye for detail and maintaining strong Client and Contractor relationships which contributes to the successful completion of each project.
Describe your experiences and growth at Circle?
I started as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor in 2024 at Circle, currently delivering Chapter House and Adrian House in Westminster. I am actively working towards becoming a member of the RICS with the support from Circle’s APC Programme.
What has been your favourite project?
My favourite project has been Chapter House, working with the Westminster Under School to refurbish and expand their existing building. Having been involved from the Pre-construction phases of the project, I am excited to be involved in this project as it offers high-quality landscaping, educational facilities and a mix of engaging communal and amenity space, focused on the student experience.
What brings you joy outside of work?
Outside of work, I’m passionate about cycling and often spend my free time on two wheels, discovering new routes. I also love connecting with friends over a cup of coffee. When I’m not working, I’m likely exploring new countries and cities, embracing different cultures, or diving into my vintage car restoration project.
