2011 Graduate with BSc (Hons) in Surveying

2010 The Most Outstanding PolyU Student

2009 Higher Diploma in Building Technology and Management (Surveying)

Studying at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) for Higher Diploma in Building Technology and Management (Surveying) and BSc (Hons) in Surveying is so far the best moment that shaped my personal and professional life. I very much appreciate what the Department of Building and Real Estate (BRE) offered me. Taught by highly experienced and approachable academic staff, at BRE I was not only equipped with a wide range of professional construction knowledge, but also gained practical skills such as critical analysis, presentation and communication skills, and global and business awareness. These skills are equally useful in my work. The Mentorship Scheme also laid a solid foundation for me to build strong industry networking, which has proved to be invaluable in my career since graduation.

Since I graduated in 2011, my on-the-job training in pre- and post-contract Quantity Surveying have qualified myself as a Charter Member at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 2014. My professional life involved cost planning, NEC3 tender and contract documentation, estimating and tendering, valuations of work and variations, etc. in my attachment with Mott MacDonald (HK) Ltd. Following that, I joined Gammon Construction Ltd. where I focused on NOD and EOT drafting, delay and disruption analysis, negotiation and settlement, pre-contract tender analysis, post-contract contractual analysis, etc. These experiences have been gained across the multiple sectors of residential, industrial and commercial property and utilities, etc.

The decision to spend my undergraduate years at BRE was the wisest choice I have ever made.
