My Work Experience

Where I've interned and worked during my career.

DVB Enterprise | Jan 2019 - Present

Independent Contractor

DV Bina Enterprise is a construction, architectural, and design company that I founded and maintained. As the owner, I was responsible for managing client relationships and liaising with building suppliers to ensure projects were completed on time and to high quality. My experience involves constructing a two-story house in a Malaysian suburb with an area of 420 sq.m. This was completed during the pandemic when labour shortages and regulations proved challenging, all construction work was delivered on time and within budget. Additionally, I drafted & designed four smaller projects, providing plans, material lists, and budgets and completed four projects that involved remodelling and building renovation across a 1- year timeframe. This was achieved through diligent project planning and by identifying material, equipment and tools, and personnel requirements.
