• Develop detailed takeoffs, pricing models, and cost summaries aligned with company standards.

Strategic Collaboration & Leadership

• Partner closely with project managers, engineers, operations, and trade partners to align estimates with execution strategies.
• Serve as a trusted advisor during preconstruction, providing insight on phasing, labor strategy, logistics, and risk mitigation.

• Contribute to bid/no-bid decisions and long-term estimating strategy.

Advanced Estimating Process & Tools

• Lead the estimating process from pursuit through turnover, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and accountability.
• Utilize advanced estimating software, databases, and historical cost data to improve accuracy and efficiency.
• Ensure all estimates comply with internal policies, quality standards, and industry best practices.
• Continuously improve estimating methodologies, templates, and tools.

Deep Expertise in Trade Means & Methods

• Demonstrate a strong working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and/or specialty construction trades (as applicable).

• Collaborate with field and trade professionals to ensure estimates reflect real-world execution.

“Tell the Story” Behind the Estimate

• Clearly articulate the why behind the numbers—assumptions, risks, exclusions, and execution strategy.
• Prepare concise, compelling estimate narratives and executive summaries.
• Translate complex cost data into clear, decision-ready information for leadership and clients.
• Build confidence and alignment through transparency and clarity.
