A construction professional since 2003, Iresha has gained experience in a wide variety of construction environments through her work in Sri Lanka, Dubai and New Zealand.

She has crunched the numbers on a $640 million high-rise, mixed development projects, hotels, tertiary institutes and a host of other projects. She now delivers estimates on residential, industrial and commercial building projects at various stages of construction, as well as preparing reinstatement estimates for insurance and compiling bank reports.

Iresha originally completed a Civil Engineering diploma as her foundation studies. She undertook further study to obtain her degree in Quantity Surveying at Sheffield University. As part of her Masters in Construction (QS) at Massey University, her dissertation investigated how sustainability adds value to the solutions she provides to clients. In 2024 she achieved MRICS status, becoming a professional member and Chartered Quantity Surveyor with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors – one of the highest distinctions in the profession.
