With over ten years’ experience in construction project management and engineering, Sabina brings a wealth of knowledge to her role as quantity surveyor in the Prendos Christchurch office. She is responsible for pre and post-contract administration, procurement, contract preparation and tendering, controlling costs and managing projects from concept to completion – recently including a 7,000m2 retirement home with close to 100 beds.

Sabina has worked as a project manager and quantity surveyor in Europe, managing a wide range of commercial, residential, industrial, community, aged-care and civil engineering projects. Since moving to New Zealand five years ago she has gained valuable experience in the commercial and residential sectors. Before joining Prendos, Sabina worked on projects including hotels, retirement homes, bridges, manufacturing and utility facilities, and even a ski jump! She then started a consultancy to provide project management and quantity surveying expertise for residential and commercial projects.

Years of working in project delivery have helped Sabina successfully navigate complex insurance claim settlements, reinstatement and repair estimates, cost reconciliation reports and contract administration for construction projects.

In her spare-time Sabina is interested in energy efficient buildings and outdoor sports.
