With 25 years of experience in academia, I have dedicated my career to teaching, management, and scholarly work in the fields of Quantity Surveying and Construction Management. As a faculty member at the country’s most sought-after public university for built environment studies, I take pride in my contribution to producing world-class graduates through impactful teaching and programme development.
My academic qualifications include a first degree in Quantity Surveying from the University of Moratuwa, a Master of Science in Building from the National University of Singapore, and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Moratuwa.
While my primary teaching area is Building Procurement, my research interests span a broader landscape, encompassing Building Economics, Procurement Systems, Dispute Resolution, and Construction Information Technology – all of which are intertwined with Building Procurement and enrich my teaching.
My passion for knowledge discovery lies in integrating innovative technologies, methods, and concepts to solve construction management challenges. My PhD research focused on establishing theories for the effective adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in BIM-infant industries like Sri Lanka.
Beyond academia, I am an Active Citizens Facilitator and an active member of several social and professional groups. My appointment as the Vice President and my previous role as Secretary of the Alumni Association of the University of Moratuwa stand as a testament to my dedication and contributions to fostering strong relationships among alumni and supporting the university’s mission.
I am also a Fellow, a member of the governing council, and a Committee Chair of the Institute of Quantity Surveyors Sri Lanka. These roles reflect my deep commitment to the profession and my active role in shaping the future of Quantity Surveying in Sri Lanka.
