Background

About Melroy Dcunha

I am a highly experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor and Fit-Out & Joinery Estimator with over a decade of proven success in cost management, estimation, and commercial strategy across diverse sectors, including hospitality, commercial, and high-end interior developments. My work has consistently driven value through precision-driven cost planning, detailed BOQ preparation, and strategic commercial insights that support every project phase—from feasibility to handover. In my current and past roles, I have successfully prepared and managed project budgets exceeding AED 400 million while ensuring robust profit margins between 15% and 20%. I specialize in compiling comprehensive Bills of Quantities (BOQs), analyzing project parameters in line with supplier quotations, and submitting competitive cost proposals that align with client expectations and technical specifications. My strong background in value engineering enables me to identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising on quality or design intent. I am also adept at providing procurement advice, developing winning tender strategies, and evaluating contractor bids to ensure both compliance and competitiveness. I have worked closely with multidisciplinary teams, design consultants, and project managers throughout my career to ensure seamless execution of commercial fit-out and joinery works. My ability to manage change orders, conduct risk assessments, and monitor ongoing project costs ensures on-time and within-budget delivery, even in complex, high-pressure environments. My methodical and detail-oriented approach ensures every element of a project is accounted for financially, contractually, and operationally. With a commitment to continuous improvement and delivering excellence, I pride myself on being both commercially astute and technically sound. I am driven by a strong work ethic, precision in execution, and a collaborative mindset that ensures value for both clients and stakeholders at every stage.
