• Proficiency in project budgeting, tender pricing, material cost analysis, actual‑versus‑budget variance analysis, progress payments, and final settlement procedures.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and AutoCAD for quantity calculations, cost analysis, and construction documentation.
• Familiarity with Glodon, Luban, or other construction quantity take‑off and cost estimation software; experience with BIM‑based quantity take‑offs is an advantage.
• Strong numerical accuracy, analytical thinking, cost awareness, attention to detail, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to identify discrepancies in quantities, material prices, and construction costs and recommend appropriate cost control measures.
• Effective communication and cross‑functional coordination skills when working with design, procurement, construction, project management, and finance teams.
