WORK EXPERIENCE:
As a professional with 2 years of experience in construction management and design, I held three internships across architectural firms, where I developed and applied core project coordination and estimation skills in live projects:

Took the lead on designing and renovating residential and commercial spaces, making sure each project met both client needs and design standards. Gained hands-on experience in estimating costs and quantities by preparing BOQs, reviewing drawings, and using tools like AutoCAD and Excel.
Worked closely with architects, engineers, and project managers to keep projects running smoothly—from kickoff meetings to final delivery. Helped plan and track project timelines using Microsoft Project, managing resources and identifying key milestones along the way.
Visited project sites regularly to understand real-world constraints, gather measurements, and ensure everything matched the plan. Contributed to smoother project execution by supporting documentation, client updates, and internal coordination.
Created 3D models and detailed design drawings, especially for residential interiors, helping clients visualize the outcome. Played an active role in problem-solving, whether it was managing risks, reviewing quality, or finding ways to cut unnecessary costs without sacrificing quality.
