Quantity Surveyor and Technical Draftsman with 1.5 years of hands-on physical site experience and a formal background in architectural design and drafting.

My architectural background enables me to bridge the gap between design and cost control through 2D drafting and 3D visualizations for community and mixed-use developments using ArchiCAD, Revit, Twinmotion, Lumion, and Planswift
