client success stories

Frederick Olivier

I had the pleasure of working with Ruta between 2023 and 2025. Throughout this period, I was consistently impressed by the exceptional quality of her work, her unwavering ethical standards, industry knowledge, and her keen attention to detail.

However, what I appreciated most was Ruta’s friendliness and her remarkable ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues and stakeholders alike—an attribute that is truly invaluable and often hard to find.

Ruta’s professionalism and positive attitude made a significant impact on the project. I highly recommend working with Ruta on any engagement; she would be an asset to any team.

I've worked with Ruta Praulina over the past 10 years and consider her one of the strongest quantity surveyors in the industry.

Throughout that time, Ruta demonstrated exceptional technical expertise, sound judgement, and a deep understanding of development projects from both a lender's and developer's perspective.

Her approach to providing thoughtful advice on complex projects has been invaluable and I would highly recommend her services to anyone in the industry.​​​

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ruta since her time at Altus Group, and we’ve collaborated on many projects over the years. Throughout our professional relationship, she has consistently demonstrated a high level of integrity, technical expertise, and professionalism in her role as a quantity surveyor.

Ruta brings strong technical expertise and a deep understanding of cost management, budgeting, and financial controls. She is detail-oriented, thorough in her analysis, and always provides clear, well-supported recommendations. She communicates clearly, stays ahead of issues, and works seamlessly with owners, consultants, and contractors.

I would gladly work with Ruta again and highly recommend her to any team looking for a knowledgeable and dependable quantity surveyor.

Vancouver Coastal Health

Ruta is a thoughtful, driven, and highly capable leader who approaches projects with focus, creativity, and a commitment. On behalf of Vancouver Coastal Health, Ruta has delivered complex capital projects with confidence, amid shifting scope, unforeseen challenges, and regulatory constraints. She remains a trusted partner to stakeholders at all levels, she is recognized for her integrity, her ability to build consensus, and her skill in aligning diverse interests toward successful outcomes.

Notably, she led a project serving hundreds of health care professionals and clients during the early stages of the COVID-19 lockdown, navigating unprecedented challenges while ensuring the safety of both the project team and end users. Her thoughtful planning, adaptability, and proactive communication ensured the project was delivered efficiently, safely, and with minimal disruption to essential services.

Ruta supported contract administration and payment certification on the Cowichan District Hospital project and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She approached the role as a true partner to our team, collaborating with us rather than setting unrealistic demands or expectations.

​

Ruta took a “boots on the ground” approach, reviewing site progress alongside our Project Managers and visiting off-site storage locations for our subcontractors to fully understand our progress invoices compared to work complete and materials purchased. Her proactive information gathering and timely feedback were instrumental to ensuring payments were processed on time.

​

I have a great deal of respect for Ruta and the professionalism she brought to her role and I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to work together again soon.
