    Hi everyone,


    I’m looking to meet some people who may be in the commercial construction business here in Perth.

    I’ve just finished my building course at TAFE and am looking to make the jump from engineering drafting into the commercial building sector. Ideally I’d like to speak to anyone who is in the field of estimating, scheduling, site supervisor, project management or along those lines. Nothing to formal just a casual chat about career pathways in this industry and possible good places to get a start.

    If anyone here fits the bill and wants to take me up on the offer ill shout coffee or beer in return for your time.


    Cheers Cameron

    I was thinking specifically Commerical, however i'm not having any luck here or other forums finding someone to talk to so Resi could be an option also.

    Thanks for the reply Westminster.

    The Perth market is a basket case for winning work as an estimator. If you can, a move to Melbourne or Sydney for a few years would get you exposed to larger companies who only really look at candidates with construction management degrees.
