This year marks Joana Mwakasungula‘s third Sobenversary, and we’re proud to celebrate her remarkable contributions to the construction industry. As a Managing Quantity Surveyor at Soben, Joana has demonstrated expertise, resilience, and leadership in an industry where women remain underrepresented.
A Trailblazer in Construction

Her commitment to delivering economical, efficient, and sustainable solutions speaks volumes. She is dedicated to transforming the future of the built environment.

However, Joana has continuously proven that with talent, expertise, and determination, she can break barriers. Through her leadership, she paves the way for more women to enter and thrive in the Quantity Surveying profession.
Delivering Excellence in Data Centres

Her meticulous cost management, communication, and leadership skills resulted in the successful delivery of a full bill of quantities for a multi-million-pound development.
The client’s feedback speaks volumes about Joana’s impact:
“Working with Joana was a pleasure. Her attention to detail was spot on, and she covered all areas to give me the confidence that the measurements were accurate. She met our ambitious targets, and the bills were laid out in a user-friendly manner which required little alteration to our estimating software.”
Her ability to lead complex projects, translate client requirements into actionable targets, and foster a collaborative team environment demonstrates her value in the data centre sector.
