Ekaterina Dudina took part in a special project of the Russian Ministry of Construction and TASS “BUILD THE FUTURE”

Head of the Department of Pricing and Estimated Standardization of RKS-NR LLC Ekaterina Dudina took part in a special project of the Russian Ministry of Construction and TASS “BUILD THE FUTURE”. 7 success stories on how to become successful in the construction industry.

A professional estimating engineer can translate any construction project, any drawing into numbers. According to the online recruiting platform hh.ru, cost estimate engineer is one of the three most scarce professions in construction.

On the website of the project "BUILD THE FUTURE" Ekaterina shares her success story: she combined her studies at the evening department of the institute with work as a courier in an electrical installation organization. Communicating with colleagues and visiting sites, I began to delve into construction and master the terminology. By chance, at the age of 20, she began to conduct cost estimates for an entire construction organization.

For 18 years, Ekaterina has been working and developing in her favorite profession. She took part in the implementation of a unique project - the construction of Skolkovo Innovation Center.

Now she heads the Department of Pricing and Estimated Standardization of RKS-NR LLC, and during two years she has formed a strong team. As Ekaterina said:

“The work here is mainly repair and restoration work, but it is unique in scale, in the number of objects, in a very short time frame, in the huge number of personnel who came from all regions of Russia. With this project there is a feeling that we are really making history.”
