DIRECTOR
In the beginning
My career as a Quantity Surveyor began fortuitously after I ended up at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Architecture at the University of Cape Town during the early months of 1997 following a cascade of events during the previous year.
After sailing through these wonderful 4 years in South Africa, I graduated in Quantity Surveying, came back to Mauritius and engaged in a career in the private quantity surveying consultancy industry, learning the trade through the best in the island, before moving into the public sector.
Feeling limited by the small size of the construction industry in Mauritius, after a further couple of years, I moved to London, UK for more trying projects preceding the London Olympics amongst others. I was however a key member of the hotels and resorts cluster, working on projects from St Kitts and Nevis to Cyprus and London through the Jeddah redevelopment and other projects in the Arabian Gulf countries. Chartered member of the RICS in 2007, I moved up the ranks
at Davis Langdon, now part of AECOM, one of the leading Global Consultancy firms worldwide. With international experience under the belt, I realized however that I wanted to be in Mauritius. Back on the island, I went into Quantity Surveying in the contracting industry, again rapidly reaching glass ceilings. Complementing my consulting and contracting experience with international exposure, I engaged as Contract Manager on a multimillion sugar factory and refinery project in Zambia.
Finally, in 2017, I started practising Quantity Surveying and Project Management under the name of Aquris Ltd,
convinced that I could and would offer a better general understanding, appreciation, contractual administration, management and guidance, service, quality, competitive price to value ratio and commitment than most whilst being perfectly honest and ethical. From that day on, at Aquris, we have been welcoming and advising hundreds of Clients and continue to do so today.
So, I extend my warmest Welcome to you on behalf of Aquris! And also thank you to everybody who has been part of our story to date and will be in the future.
