Henry Brasell

Summary
I am a hardworking and ambitious Bachelor of Construction graduate, having completed my degree in November. I have a strong passion for the construction industry, especially quantity surveying. Through my coursework, I’ve built a solid theoretical foundation in measurement, cost planning, and construction processes, and I’m motivated to keep learning and developing my skills.
I have strong communication and interpersonal skills, which help me work well in a team, but I’m also confident working independently when needed. I believe I can be a valuable asset to your team because of my work ethic, reliability, and passion for the industry. I am confident that my communication, organisation, and attention to detail will allow me to contribute effectively to your company’s goals and ongoing success.
