• Develop accurate and detailed preliminary budget estimates for both commercial and residential remodeling projects, ensuring alignment with project goals.
• Prepare comprehensive cost estimates, encompassing labor, materials, overhead, and other key project factors.
• Collaborate closely with project managers, architects, subcontractors, and other stakeholders to gather critical information and ensure estimates are precise and reflective of project needs.
• Accountable for creating and defining detailed subcontractor scopes of work, ensuring clarity and alignment with project objectives and specifications.
• Analyze blueprints, specifications, and other project documentation to create thorough time, cost, and labor estimates that support successful project execution.
• Monitor project costs throughout the construction process, providing regular updates and proactive recommendations to both management and clients to keep projects on track.
• Conduct on-site visits to assess project scope, identify requirements, and verify field conditions, ensuring accurate and realistic estimates.
