Job Description
Cost Estimating:
Prepare detailed and accurate cost estimates for construction projects, including labor, materials, equipment, permits, and subcontractor bids. Estimate costs for all project phases from pre-construction to final completion. Bid Solicitation and Analysis:
Solicit, review, and evaluate bids from subcontractors and suppliers. Analyze their proposals to determine the most competitive and reliable pricing, ensuring quality and scope alignment with the project requirements. Project Takeoffs:
Perform accurate quantity takeoffs from construction plans and specifications, using advanced software tools (e.g., ProEst, Timberline, or similar) to generate precise cost data. Budget Development:
Develop and maintain project budgets based on initial design and scope of work. Ensure estimates reflect a comprehensive understanding of project requirements and potential risks. Collaboration:
Work closely with project managers, architects, engineers, and clients to understand project scope, timelines, and specific requirements. Provide cost input to help inform design decisions, value engineering, and project feasibility. Value Engineering:
Recommend value engineering solutions to clients, identifying opportunities to reduce costs without compromising quality, schedule, or safety. Risk Mitigation:
Assess project risks related to cost, schedule, and scope, and provide recommendations to mitigate potential cost overruns or delays. Change Orders:
Review and evaluate change orders during the project lifecycle, ensuring that all changes to scope are reflected in updated cost estimates and project budgets. Reporting and Documentation:
Prepare and present detailed cost estimates and supporting documentation for internal reviews and client proposals. Provide accurate and timely updates to management and stakeholders on project budget status. Cost Control:
Track actual costs against estimates during the construction process, identifying discrepancies and addressing budget issues as they arise to keep projects on track. Continuous Improvement:
Stay current with industry trends, new materials, construction methods, and pricing to provide the most accurate and competitive estimates.
