Jethro is a Licensed Civil Engineer with over seven years of professional experience specializing in cost estimation, quantity surveying, and project scheduling across the construction, property development, infrastructure, and telecommunications sectors. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and is an accredited Provisional Project Engineer. His background encompasses extensive work in the construction and general engineering sector, as well as remote independent contracting experience supporting a telecommunications infrastructure firm based in the United States. 

Throughout his career, Jethro has prepared detailed quantity takeoffs, comprehensive Bills of Quantities (BOQ), and cost estimates to support tendering, budgeting, and procurement for multi-scale residential dwellings (two-to-three-story residences), commercial structures, convention centers, and mid-rise buildings. His trade estimating experience covers structural timber and steel framing, roofing, wall cladding, ceilings, landscaping, and finishings, with a strong focus on flooring trades such as tiling, timber, vinyl, and carpeting, alongside integrated waterproofing systems. In his project engineering roles within the construction and property development industry, he coordinated on-site progress, established field quality control protocols, managed subcontractor alignments, and evaluated variations, change orders, and progress billings to safeguard project budgets. Additionally, in his telecommunications scheduling role, he managed baseline project schedules, monitored critical milestones, and reported variances to international stakeholders.

He demonstrates end-to-end procedural capability in cost estimation by conducting thorough architectural, structural, and MEP blueprint analyses, executing precise digital takeoffs, sending out market pricing requests to suppliers and subcontractors, and producing finalized bid documentation and cost summaries. He is proficient in industry-standard software tools, including Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, Primavera P6, AutoCAD (2D and 3D), SketchUp, and Microsoft Office (with an emphasis on advanced Excel modeling).

Jona is a Licensed Civil Engineer with over five years of combined professional experience across commercial and residential construction, quantity surveying, cost estimation, and project coordination. She has dedicated nearly two years specifically to flooring and finishes estimation within the commercial flooring and subcontracting sectors, supporting US-based projects as well as on-site developments in the Philippines. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with a major in Structural Engineering, she pairs a strong technical engineering foundation with practical field knowledge, having served in versatile capacities including Site Engineer, Quantity Surveyor, and Billing Engineer.

Throughout her career, Jona has demonstrated high rigor and precision in handling material takeoffs, project quotations, and bill of quantities (BOQ) preparation for complex residential and commercial projects. Her end-to-end takeoff process emphasizes meticulous quality control to prevent cost discrepancies: she systematically analyzes architectural and construction drawings, verifies room finish schedules against material specifications, accounts for auxiliary items such as trims, transitions, adhesives, and underlayment, and applies project-specific waste factors. To maintain zero omissions on large-scale jobs, she implements a structured verification method that includes color-coded floor plan tracking and comprehensive reviews of overlooked spaces such as utility and storage rooms. Her foundational on-site background in structural and architectural finishes further enhances her familiarity with tiling systems and waterproofing requirements.

Technically, Jona is highly proficient in industry-standard estimation and takeoff applications, utilizing MeasureSquare as her primary tool alongside PlanSwift, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Excel for detailed BOQ generation and cost schedules. She is also technically versed in computer-aided drafting and design platforms, including AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp.

Mark is a Licensed Civil Engineer with over 11 years of comprehensive experience in quantity surveying, construction project management, cost estimation, and contract administration across commercial, residential, and civil projects. Throughout his career, he has successfully managed end-to-end project delivery, overseeing operations from initial Bill of Quantities (BOQ) preparation and cost estimation through change order tracking and client progress billing. His background combines practical engineering judgment with remote team leadership, driving operational coordination across procurement, finance, design, and site execution. Equipped with specialized training in Australian residential cost estimation, he offers a versatile skill set tailored for international construction management and virtual quantity surveying engagements.

His professional background spans progressive roles within the construction, general contracting, real estate development, and building services industries. He served for more than 6 years as a Managing Director, Quantity Surveyor, and Project Manager for a design-build and construction management firm, directing cross-functional project delivery, procurement, financial governance, and remote team workflows. Prior to this, he spent nearly 5 years as a Quantity Surveyor and Project Coordinator for a residential construction contractor, supervising concurrent site activities, trade subcontractors, quality control inspections, and schedule milestones. His portfolio covers commercial office fit-outs (including BPO facilities), retail mall redevelopments, ground-up residential builds, structural demolition, and specialized MEP/plumbing subcontracting.

In his project delivery record, Mark has demonstrated measurable operational and commercial success across multiple concurrent builds. He managed 6 to 8 active monthly progress billings while maintaining disciplined accounts collection and budget reconciliation. He directed cost estimation, pricing, and scope control for high-visibility commercial fit-outs and retail spaces commissioned by a major national real estate developer. To mitigate scope creep and secure project margins, he processed over 15 monthly change orders utilizing structured BOQ takeoffs, variation tracking registers, and unit-rate benchmarking. Additionally, he led a distributed remote operating team across procurement, finance, drafting/design, and operations, and oversaw 5 to 10 residential builds simultaneously from substructure through final client turnover in full adherence to technical specifications.

Mark possesses strong technical mastery in pre-construction and post-contract cost management, with core competencies in quantity takeoffs, market price analysis, CSI MasterFormat Division estimations (Divisions 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9), subcontractor valuation, and client billing. His software capabilities include more than 11 years of daily hands-on proficiency in Bluebeam Revu for digital takeoffs and drawing markups, AutoCAD for technical coordination, and Microsoft Excel and Word for comprehensive cost modeling and BOQ preparation. He is also proficient in SketchUp for 3D spatial evaluation and Microsoft Project for master critical-path scheduling and sequencing.
