Join our Award-Winning Team at Archadeck and HGC Design + Build Halifax!

Archadeck and HGC Design + Build have been transforming homes and outdoor spaces for over 20 years. Our dedication to excellence has earned us our 12th Consumers Choice Award in 2026 and numerous industry accolades, including Renovator of the Year by the Nova Scotia Home Builders Association. We specialize in delivering custom, high-end renovation, light commercial and design-build projects.

We are currently seeking a temporary Project Estimator to join our talented team. If you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and enjoy coming up with creative solutions, we want to hear from you!

PLEASE NOTE: This is a temporary position with an end date of August 28th, 2026. There is a possibility of becoming permanent.

Scope of Work:
  • Conduct thorough site inspections using physical assessments, photographic documentation, and Matterport 3D scanning to evaluate existing conditions and identify potential site-specific variables.
  • Analyze architectural and structural drawings to define a comprehensive Scope of Work (SOW). You must accurately translate blueprints into actionable project requirements.
  • Identify specific NSBC Part 9 and National Building Code (NBC) requirements that may impact the preliminary estimate.
  • Utilize company-specific estimating software to build detailed project estimates and generate formal construction contracts, ensuring all terms and conditions align with the final scope.
  • Prepare detailed bid packages for sub-trades, evaluate incoming submissions for "apples-to-apples" coverage, and provide data-backed recommendations for awarding contracts.
  • Execute precise quantitative take-offs for all materials and labour. Maintain high-level accuracy in data entry to minimize variance during the construction phase.
  • Act as the administrator for the estimating database, ensuring cost catalogs, unit prices, and assemblies are current, accurate, and optimized for the entire team.
  • Maintain proactive communication with Sales, Drafting, and Design teams to address scope creep, design changes, or value-engineering opportunities.
  • Participate in regular project review meetings.
  • Stay current on evolving building technologies, local material supply chains, and modern installation methods.
Qualifications & Key Competencies
  • 2-5 years of estimating experience in residential construction.
  • Strong working knowledge of the Nova Scotia Building Code (Part 9) and the National Building Code of Canada.
  • Advanced skills in Microsoft Excel; prior experience with Buildertrend or similar construction management software is a significant asset.
  • Deep understanding of residential and light commercial assembly types, material grades, and labor productivity rates.
  • Proven ability to interpret complex residential and commercial construction documents.
  • Must possess a valid driver’s license and a reliable vehicle for travel to sites across the HRM and surrounding areas.
  • Exceptional time management and the ability to meet strict tender deadlines while maintaining meticulous attention to detail.
Why Join Us?
  • Work alongside an award-winning team of design-build professionals.
  • Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
  • Be part of a company known for delivering high-end, custom renovation and design projects.
  • Enjoy a supportive, inclusive workplace culture where your contributions matter.
Perks & Benefits
  • Casual dress environment.
  • Comprehensive health benefits (dental, vision, and life insurance).
  • Paid time off
  • Exciting projects in the Halifax area.
