Work History
Estimator
- Delivers detailed quantity takeoffs and cost estimates for remediation, demolition, renovation, and construction scopes with project budgets of approximately $50K-$500K+. Converts plans, specifications, field information, and scope requirements into labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor pricing. Compares quotes, identifies pricing opportunities, flags gaps and exclusions before submission, and maintains cost data that supports accurate, competitive bids.
- Conducted field inspections, documented site conditions, collected measurements, and supported scope development for environmental and construction-related projects. Translated field findings into organized project information, helping teams define work requirements, identify unknowns, and prepare clear, practical scopes.
- Built practical knowledge of electrical, HVAC, plumbing, appliances, finishes, and general building repairs. Diagnosed work, determined required labor, materials, tools, and sequencing, and coordinated with vendors and contractors. This hands-on field perspective strengthens construction review, scope judgment, material awareness, and cost-conscious estimating decisions.
