About This Role
Company Description
Luxsta8 is an investment-led real estate platform focused on acquiring, redesigning, and delivering high-end residential projects through ownership, not brokerage.
We operate with a strong emphasis on commercial discipline, ensuring that design, execution, and cost are aligned at every stage of the project lifecycle.
Role Objective
To take ownership of commercial performance across projects—ensuring accurate estimation, strict cost control, and complete oversight of contractor billing across both civil construction and high-end fit-out.

- Acts as the core commercial control function across all Luxsta8 projects.
- Responsible for validating and approving all contractor payments before release.
- Works closely with the Project Manager to ensure alignment between execution and cost.
- Reports directly to the Owner.
- Has authority to challenge contractors, flag discrepancies, and hold payments where required.
- Maintains independent oversight across both civil and fit-out scope.
1. Estimation & Cost Planning
Review drawings and BOQs, conduct quantity take-offs, build detailed estimates across civil, structural, MEP, and finishing trades, and validate project feasibility from a cost perspective.
2. Quantity Surveying & Execution Control
Verify contractor bills against BOQ, drawings, and site measurements, issue payment certifications, manage variation orders, and ensure no overbilling across all trades.
3. Commercial Management
Track project cost vs budget, maintain rate databases, support subcontract structuring, and ensure alignment between design intent and commercial outcomes.
Success in This Role
- Strong control over project budgets from start to completion.
- Minimal deviation between estimated and actual costs.
- Zero unchecked contractor overbilling.
- Structured and controlled variations across civil and fit-out works.
Requirements
- 5–10 years experience in construction (civil + fit-out preferred).
- Strong experience in both estimation and QS (billing verification).
- Experience in villa projects / high-end residential.
- Strong understanding of BOQs, drawings, and execution workflows.
- Ability to challenge contractor billing and control costs effectively.
- Strong Excel and analytical skills.
