One of my highlight projects at Collaborative Cost Management has been the Holding Redlich Brisbane Office Fit Out.

This large-scale project transformed 2,400m² of premium office space. At the early stage, CCM prepared the pre-tender estimate, providing a strong foundation for procurement and cost control.

As someone who began my career in Sri Lanka and now works in the Australian construction industry, this opportunity has been one of the best for me. My main involvement was in the post-contract phase, where I focused on assessing progress claims, reviewing and preparing variations, and providing payment recommendations to ensure financial accuracy and contractual compliance.

This experience strengthened my skills in post-contract cost management and stakeholder collaboration, and I am proud to have contributed to this milestone project as CCM celebrates 7 years of success.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT BHP Office Fitout

Celebrating another year with Collaborative Cost Management and marking seven years in the business- we are building strong and growing seven-folds!

One project that stands out from the past year is the BHP office fit out on Level 9 and the refurbishment of levels 10 to 15. A project comprising of the full journey from concept design through to practical completion. I was fortunate to be involved end-to-end: from early pre-construction estimates to design development, navigating through tender stage and later supporting the works post contract. Along the way, I sharpened my skills in cost planning, project coordination, value management and understanding how early design decisions flow into delivery stages. Seeing the project evolve from sketches to completed workplace felt like a full circle.

Just before Level 9 works wrapped up and the refurb works kicked off, I swapped hard hats for baby hats and went on maternity leave- my most demanding and rewarding project yet. Now, being back at work, it’s been great to rejoin the team and help deliver the final stages of the project.
