Xin (Alex) Lin
Rivervale,WA
Summary
I am a sense maker and motivated consultant with civil engineering background. This has armed me with extensive knowledge of the design process ranging from building to civil & industrial construction, which then leads to the foundations of construction works. I bring technical expertise in estimating software like CostX and PlanSwift, and can communicate effectively by focusing on transparency between stakeholders concerning any issues or complications.
I have experience in residential, commercial, government, mining & energy projects up to $100 million.
