About Hitesh Ladva

I am a Civil Engineer and Quantity Surveyor with 10+ years of experience helping some of India’s most ambitious real estate and infrastructure projects achieve the right balance of cost efficiency, accuracy, and timely delivery. My career has been built on bridging design and execution, ensuring that every BOQ, estimate, and variation reflects both the technical intent and the commercial vision of the project.Over the years, I’ve prepared and managed BOQs for excavation, piling, structural steel, rock anchors, waler beams, waterproofing, and superstructure works. I take pride in developing dynamic, error-free BOQ systems in Excel and Google Sheets, automating estimation processes, and building benchmarking databases that support smarter value engineering decisions.Some highlights from my journey include: Saved ₹5 Cr by eliminating overbilling through strict BOQ and excavation bill certification. Spearheaded design and execution optimizations in piling and waterproofing systems, delivering cost savings while maintaining quality and safety. Identified ₹48 Cr optimization opportunity in a commercial project via rate benchmarking and budget review. Improved estimation efficiency by 600% through Excel VBA automation for BOQ generation. Built enterprise-level material consumption databases across projects for better control and transparency. Conducted cost & time-effectiveness analysis for innovative construction methods like GI lintels and precast mullions.I believe quantity surveying is not just about measurement—it’s about enabling better decision-making, bringing transparency, and empowering teams to deliver projects we can all be proud of. My approach is detail-oriented, analytical, and collaborative, with a constant focus on cost optimization, risk reduction, and long-term value creation
