Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
As a Cost Consultant, the day-to-day roles are never the same. Recently, I was apart of a team completing a Cost Plan for a Project in Bath. This involved myself being in-charge of certain work packages (e.g. External Walls, Soft Landscaping). Using BIM and Causeway (Cost Planning Software) I was given the responsibility to deliver the Cost of these packages. I also help with Cost Reporting, Cost Estimating and frequently join meetings with Clients to catch them up on the progress of different projects
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The work I have been given so far has pushed me out of my comfort zone and really excelled my expectations. I have been given more responsibility then I had thought I would be given at this stage in my career and I have developed as a Cost Consultant because of this.
Skills Development
