MAK Construction, Grand Forks, North Dakota, United States, 58203
As a Construction Estimator at MAK Construction, your primary responsibility will be to assess project costs accurately and comprehensively. You will play a crucial role in the pre-construction phase by analyzing project requirements, evaluating materials and labor costs, and preparing detailed cost estimates. Your estimations will guide project planning, budgeting, and decision-making processes, ultimately contributing to the successful execution of construction projects.
Responsibilities:
Project Evaluation: Review project plans, specifications, and relevant documents to understand the scope, requirements, and constraints of each project. Cost Estimation: Calculate and analyze costs of materials, equipment, labor, and other resources required for construction projects. Utilize industry-standard cost estimation techniques, databases, and software tools. Takeoffs and Quantities: Perform quantity takeoffs from architectural and engineering drawings or models to determine the required quantities of materials, equipment, and labor. Vendor and Subcontractor Management: Coordinate with suppliers, subcontractors, and vendors to obtain accurate pricing, negotiate contracts, and ensure timely availability of materials and services. Cost Analysis: Evaluate and compare various quotes, bids, and proposals from vendors and subcontractors to select the most cost-effective options without compromising quality or project specifications. Budget Preparation: Collaborate with project managers and stakeholders to develop comprehensive project budgets, ensuring that all estimated costs are accounted for. Documentation: Prepare detailed cost estimates, reports, and supporting documentation, and maintain accurate records of all estimates, changes, and communications throughout the estimation process. Value Engineering: Identify opportunities for value engineering to optimize project costs while maintaining quality standards, and propose alternatives or cost-saving measures. Risk Assessment: Identify potential risks, uncertainties, and contingencies related to project costs, and provide recommendations for risk mitigation. Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with internal teams, including architects, engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders, to ensure accurate and timely cost estimates. Environment: While the duties of this job entail being primarily in an office setting, the employee would on occasion be required to inspect projects in the field and be exposed to construction and inclement weather conditions. The employee would be required to follow all PPE and safety protocols while present at any field site.
