Hi , I’m Iuliana.
Iuliana Ionescu
As a Quantity Surveyor at Avantgarde Tiling, I am dedicated to managing and reducing the costs and risks of our construction projects, ensuring we deliver value for money while adhering to the required legal standards and quality. The most challenging yet rewarding aspect of my role is maintaining control over project costs, particularly when dealing with numerous changes. My focus is always on promptly informing the client and providing the most effective cost solutions quickly and accurately. Efficiency and precision are the cornerstones of my approach.
Beyond the professional realm, my life is enriched by a variety of passions and hobbies. I have a deep love for singing, which allows me to express myself creatively and find joy in melody. Nature walks offer me a serene escape from the bustle of everyday life, providing moments of tranquility and reflection. Swimming is another activity I cherish, as it not only keeps me fit but also brings a sense of calm and balance. Spending quality time with friends is vital to me, as it strengthens bonds and creates lasting memories.
Before embarking on my journey in quantity surveying, I initially worked as a summertime interpreter for students. This experience was followed by a role at Philips Germany in Brasov, within their Customer Help Centre. In 2009, I moved to UK, starting as a Shop Assistant while pursuing AAT studies part-time. My career with Avantgarde Tiling commenced in 2011, marking a significant milestone in my professional growth. On the academic front, I hold a Master’s degree in Quantity Surveying from London South Bank University, complemented by a Postgraduate Diploma in the same field. My educational journey also includes an AAT Level 2 in Accountancy from Stanmore College, London, and a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and International Business from Dimitrie Cantemir Christian University, Bucharest. My proficiency in languages is evidenced by the German European Language Certificate from Volkshoch Schule, Heide, Germany, and my foundational education was completed in Romania, focusing on Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry.
