Construction research project on Investigating relation between project complexity and cost overruns in Australian construction projects. 

• I led a research initiative addressing cost overruns in the Australian construction industry, a crucial concern despite its economic significance.
• Objectives were to explore the link between project complexity and cost overruns, identify influencing factors, and propose effective solutions.Methodology involved a systematic literature review and analysis of 18 similar articles, revealing key insights into project complexity and its impact on cost overruns.
• The findings enabled actionable recommendations for managing complexity and reducing cost overruns. This project highlights my ability to tackle complex industry issues, conduct thorough reviews, and provide practical solutions, emphasizing my commitment to enhancing efficiency and success in construction.

MERIT International Construction Business Game

• Participated in the MERIT International Construction Business Game, a construction project management simulation.
• Applied strategic thinking and decision-making skills to manage a virtual construction business.
• Collaborated with team members to address challenges and optimize project outcomes.
• Gained practical insights into real-world construction project scenarios and business operations.

As an intern at ABC Road Lanes Corporation & Construction, I actively contributed to the success of infrastructure projects through hands-on experience in the field of civil engineering and construction. Key accomplishments and responsibilities include Coordinated construction projects, ensuring smooth execution with strong organizational and communication skills. Conducted site inspections, maintained quality standards, and improved efficiency through corrective measures. Analyzed project data, delivered reports to managers, and contributed insights in cross-functional meetings. Proactively solved on-site challenges and demonstrated adaptability. Acquired practical knowledge of construction methodologies, project management, and relevant tools, enhancing technical skill.
