Summary
Commercial Construction Estimator with background in both residential and commercial building projects. Strong grasp of cost analysis, budgeting, and bid proposal development, complemented by firsthand experience in managing subcontractor relations. My previous role as a construction business owner gave me valuable experience in estimating; successfully negotiating contract terms, contract writing and project accuracy. Firsthand experience in the building industry has given me knowledge in project course and management from start to finish.
