ABOUT NAVEEN KUMAR S.
I am a commercially focused Chartered Quantity Surveyor and Construction Professional with experience across the full project lifecycle, covering pre-contract estimation, procurement, tendering, contract administration, cost control, project finance reporting, and final account closure. With a master’s degree in Commercial Management & Quantity Surveying (Merit) from Heriot-Watt University and hands-on industry experience in both commercial and site roles, I bring a strong blend of technical understanding, commercial strategy, and practical project delivery skills.I have delivered detailed BOQs, budgets, cost plans, and tender documentation while leading procurement processes, including selective, negotiated, and traditional tendering. My experience spans bid evaluation, commercial negotiations, market analysis, contract drafting, and issuing LOIs/WOs. I have also managed interim valuations, RA bills, variation assessments, re-measurement, and contractor claims, ensuring accuracy, fairness, and compliance with contractual obligations.My background includes resolving complex commercial challenges, such as mitigating contractor insolvency through innovative procurement strategies, and negotiating revised rates, provisional sums, and rental agreements that improved cost certainty and reduced disputes. I have consistently strengthened financial governance through CVRs, cost-to-complete reporting, cash flow forecasting, and earned value analysis.My master’s programme further refined my capabilities in procurement strategy, NEC contracts, risk management, value engineering, sustainability frameworks, and digital construction tools (BIM, CDE). Through the ECOWILD CDT Integrated Project, I worked on a complex, sustainability-led development involving MMC, heritage conservation, flood resilience, stakeholder engagement, and two-stage D&B procurement.I aim to contribute to organisations looking for a proactive, analytical, and commercially strong QS/Commercial Professional capable of delivering measurable value across cost, contract, and project performance.
