About Taoheed Olayemi
I am a highly experienced Quantity Surveyor with over seven years of expertise in the strategic management of costs and contracts. My career has been defined by a diverse range of projects across several major industries, including construction, maritime, and oil & gas.
My core strengths lie in my ability to handle the entire commercial lifecycle of a project, from initial cost planning and procurement to final account settlement and claims management. I possess a deep understanding of standard contract forms (JCT, NEC) and am skilled in risk analysis, value engineering, and financial forecasting.
Having worked in varied and demanding sectors, I am adept at navigating complex contractual issues and resolving disputes with a focus on delivering commercial success. My experience has honed my skills in negotiation, stakeholder communication, and leadership, enabling me to not only manage project finances but also mentor junior team members and contribute to strategic business decisions. I thrive on challenges and am committed to ensuring project delivery is both profitable and professionally executed.
