• Estimator

The Estimator is essential to any organization’s future success. Without the acquisition of new projects, the business is ultimately affected. This is where the person in this position comes in. Interpreting blueprints and other general information relevant to the project, the Estimator will convert these items into an estimated dollar cost for the purpose of competitive bids. As you might expect, the low bidder ultimately gets the work in most cases. A person in this position should possess good analytical and organizational skills and must be thorough with great attention to detail. You must
also be able to persevere, have patience, and continue to strive for that successful bid. A college degree in this field of study is preferred.

Some of the specific duties include:

  • Evaluate initial plans and specifications for each project and analyze pertinent legal regulatory requirements.
  • Break down these plans into various code groups for each area of the project and complete quantity take-offs for each code group.
  • Solicit and evaluate quotations from subcontractors and suppliers for their relevant portions of the project.
  • Research subcontractor and supplier sources for unique materials and services.
  • Assemble all portions of the project to compile a final bid estimate.
