  • Review drawings, specifications, addenda, and tender documents to understand project scope and requirements.
  • Complete quantity takeoffs and develop detailed cost estimates for labour, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and general conditions.
  • Solicit pricing from subcontractors and suppliers and ensure bid coverage across all required scopes of work.
  • Review subcontractor and supplier quotations for accuracy, exclusions, inclusions, and alignment with project requirements.
  • Identify scope gaps, risks, opportunities, and potential cost-saving measures during the estimating process.
  • Prepare bid forms, tender packages, clarifications, qualifications, and supporting estimate documentation.
  • Work closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, and internal teams to support pre-construction planning and project handoff.
  • Assist with budgeting, conceptual estimating, value engineering, and cost planning during early project stages.
  • Maintain and update estimating files, trade pricing, subcontractor contacts, historical cost data, and bid documentation.
