From CAD Lines
to Cost Intelligence & Project Management

My path into Cost Consulting & Project Management began on the drawing board — learning how buildings are designed before understanding how they're priced. That dual literacy, reading structure and reading budgets, became my core professional asset. I hold a B.Tech in Civil Engineering (81%, First Division) from Goel Institute of Technology & Management, Lucknow — Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University.

At Grant Thornton Bharat LLP, I served as an independent Cost Consultant embedded on behalf of lender institutions. My mandate was to verify project costs, flag deviations, and ensure capital disbursed matched construction delivered. For clients such as Godrej Properties and M3M India, approximations were not acceptable — the numbers had to be defensible.

My differentiator was methodology. I integrated Revit BIM directly into the QS workflow — extracting quantities from model geometry rather than scaling 2D drawings manually. Across 1M+ sq ft of high-rise built-up area, that approach consistently delivered ±2% cost accuracy and 25% faster turnaround compared to traditional takeoff methods.

Today, as an Assistant Project Manager at Turner & Townsend, I have expanded that foundation beyond cost assurance into project delivery and management. I work closely with clients, consultants, contractors, and project stakeholders to support planning, coordination, cost management, progress monitoring, and overall project execution. This transition has strengthened my ability to connect technical detail with strategic decision-making — ensuring that projects are not only accurately measured and costed, but also effectively managed to achieve their schedule, quality, and commercial objectives.

The combination of hands-on quantity surveying expertise, BIM-driven cost intelligence, and project management experience enables me to bridge the gap between design, cost, and execution — helping teams make informed decisions and deliver complex construction projects with greater certainty and value.
