• Lead weekly estimating reviews with the owner and team
• Oversee multiple bids and prepare for future projects simultaneously
• Develop ROMs and budget estimates for design-build and conceptual phases
• Review and interpret construction drawings, specs, and details for accurate cost projections
• Create clear and detailed proposals with defined scopes, exclusions, and assumptions
• Source and maintain pricing from vendors, subcontractors, and suppliers
• Analyze project documentation for constructability and value-engineering opportunities
• Ensure smooth handoffs from pre-construction to operations

• Assist with procurement and ordering of materials to meet project timelines
