- Identify scope gaps, discrepancies, and potential issues within construction drawings and specifications.
- Recommend alternative materials, products, or construction methods that can reduce costs while maintaining project quality and performance.
- Work with suppliers, vendors, and internal teams to obtain current material pricing and develop accurate project budgets.
- Collaborate with sales, purchasing, design, and operations throughout the preconstruction process.
- Ensure budgets, contracts, material scopes, assumptions, and project requirements are clearly communicated to the operations team before construction begins.
- Stay informed of lumber and building material pricing, product availability, and market conditions that may impact project costs.
- Previous experience in construction estimating, preconstruction, multifamily construction, or a related field preferred.
- Ability to read and interpret architectural and structural construction plans.
- Experience performing material quantity takeoffs.
- Knowledge of lumber, engineered wood products, framing systems, and building materials is preferred.
- Strong mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and estimating or takeoff software.
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across multiple departments.
