COST ESTIMATOR/ QUANTITY SURVEYOR

Totally 14 years, experience in EPC projects in heavy industrial (Oil& Gas and petrochemical, mining), civil, and building projects including 10 years in Quantity Surveying& Cost Estimation in multidisciplinary position with strong skill in application of Excel in advanced level. TECHNICAL SKILLS

KEY ACHIVEMENT

• Generally, there are different levels in Cost Estimation that I have been involved in different projects as follow:

Concept screening which is mostly based on production capacity.

Study and feasibility which is mostly based on parametric models.

Control or Bid/ tender which is related to estimation of detail unit cost with approximate take-off.

Check Estimation which is related to estimation of detail unit cost with detailed take-off.

Additional work estimation which is mostly extraction of unit rate form EPC contract based on available information in contract for items which are beyond the scope of work in contract.
