I analysed the financials of a furniture manufacturing project by breaking down material, labour, and manufacturing overhead costs. I then evaluated profitability, identified the major cost drivers, and developed practical insights around material efficiency, labour efficiency, and pricing for similar future projects.

Worked on the financial analysis of an interior woodwork and installation project for a client. I structured the project costs across materials, factory and fitting labour, polishing, interior labour, direct expenses and manufacturing overhead. I then calculated the total project cost, analysed project profitability, and used the cost structure to establish pricing and cost benchmarks for similar future projects.
