Now, compared with the beginning of my career, our company offers various quantity surveying services, including public works and property redevelopment projects, and in the circumstances, I am in charge mainly of quantity surveying for mechanical and sanitary services.
Specifically, my job ranges from confirmation of drawings we have received to checking of quantity estimates, establishment of proper unit prices, and preparation of work itemization statements.
What are required in the job are not only to calculate accurate and proper work prices but also to promptly deal with modifications to drawings following changes in clients’ needs. I have devoted myself to quantity surveying, aiming to sincerely fulfill clients’ requests.
As I studied at the architecture department at a university, I visited several architecture-related companies while doing job hunting and ran into SANTEC M&E Q.S. CORPORATION. Although I was interested in architectural facilities in my school days, the field of quantity surveying was not familiar and sounded ambiguous to me even though I studied architecture. I learned at a job fair, however, that I could be involved in a number of property projects, and besides, the employees, including the directors, working at SANTEC and the working environment appealed significantly to me, which made me decide to join SANTEC.
The job of quantity surveying requires accuracy and promptness. I believe that presenting a proper work price for constructing a building carries enormous social responsibility. Our company is characterized by steady and meticulous estimation services for multiple property projects simultaneously in a team with a tight schedule. We sometimes come to a standstill for coordination in the process; however, when I go out with my children, we can see a number of buildings whose projects I was involved with, and I find my work rewarding at such time.
Currently, I am bringing up 2 preschoolers. Although I find it challenging now and then to balance work and family, I engage in my job while appreciating it from day to day that I can maintain my work life balance through cooperation from people around me.
It has been believed that acquisition of certificates is the fastest route to obtain profound knowledge of the industry, and our company has established a support program for acquiring certificates useful for quantity surveying. I would like to manage myself and my schedule and contribute to the team by deepening my knowledge and know-how while effectively using the support program.
