• Preparing bids for Jobs in the planning and preconstruction stages using " On Screen Takeoff" & " Quick Bids" Software. Estimating labor, materials, profit, overhead, and taxes based on bid walks and SOW. Examining the drawings, specifications, and bid papers needed to evaluate the project.
• Obtained bids from vendors and contractors to make cost-effective selections.
• Monitored cost trends to assist management in cost reduction and process improvement.
• Directed and negotiated change orders and claims for contractors, suppliers, and architects.
• Produced preliminary estimates based on schematic and design development-level documents.
• Analyzed completed projects to compare estimated costs to actual costs, determining reasons for discrepancies.
• Maintained detailed and organized records of bid documents, correspondence, and other project-specific information.
• Determined project scope, boundaries, time frame, and possible complications to produce accurate estimates.
• Developed and updated cost estimates by documenting relevant job information in an internal database.
• Assessed cost-effectiveness of products or services, tracking costs relative to bids as work progressed.
• Planning and predicting personnel and resource requirements are all part of resource management. Creating project billing revenue predictions and a value schedule. Reviewing and monitoring job costs versus budgets. Cost estimates for project schedules are prepared and updated.

Pre-Construction Phase of Project

• Analyzing drawings, specifications, and addenda to determine full scope of work.
• Creating and developing the quantity take-offs from construction plans and estimate labor, equipment, and materials for both residential and commercial buildings by using the Bluebeam, Adobe, Plan Shift estimating software.
• Collecting necessary scopes of work and pricing from design to incorporate in final construction pricing.
• Developing execution plans, project narratives, and other written communication as part of proposals
• Creating quotes and complete customers' pricing sheets for submission of proposals
• Assisting with the review and execution of contracts, work orders, change orders, and similar.
• Assisting to Project Management and project management team in cost management of projects
• Ensuring a complete review of plans and drawings
• Attending to site visits and pre-construction meetings for upcoming projects
• Consulting with architects, subcontractors, and material suppliers to discuss and formulate estimates, effect cost reductions, and resolve issues.

Construction Phase of Projects

• Reviewing design documents for proper information to receive accurate pricing from subcontractors and suppliers, generate acceptable value engineering ideas and prepare life cycle costing.
• Staying with current RFI/RFP's, conducts site visits and pre-con meetings, and works with Project Managers in quantity take off, estimating and bid preparation
• Identifying the items that have been omitted and ensure appropriate accounting for such items in an overall estimate package that represents the full scope of the project
• Supporting change order and claims review, comparing proposals against contractual obligations, and advising on entitlements and other relevant factors
• Documenting any changes in design and updating budgets
• Monitoring the project schedules, completion dates, deadlines and assisting with project efficiencies
• Assisting project managers with cost controls, monthly pay requests, project inventory usage, change order pricing and billing
• Reviewing of daily reports and weekly timecards for accuracy and submittal to accounting
• Keeping track of materials and ordering more when required
• Verifying contractor invoice charges against original project contracts and communicate with contractors to clarify discrepancies.

• Prepared material orders to complete projects on time and within budget
• Preparing Bill of Quantity, reports, analyses, contracts, budgets, risk assessment, and other documents
• Analyzed and calculated field measurements, survey plans and plot plans to create proposals and process work orders
• Delivered comprehensive bid proposals for projects and gained client approval on costs
• Calculated correct costs for project-specific goods and services by gathering information from team members, sub-contractors, and vendors
• Utilized cost estimation systems to document project information, create estimates and revise project costs to reflect current data
• Analyzed buildings to prepare estimates for construction works
• Prepared estimates used by management for purposes such as planning, organizing, and scheduling work
• Collected historical cost data to estimate costs for current or future products
• Provided accurate estimates by defining scope, timelines, potential setbacks, and limitations.

• Monitored execution of contract work for compliance with design plans and specifications
• Calculated load levels and material stress factors using Revit to identify design constraints
• Planned, directed, and participated in surveying activities and researching title reports and deeds in preparation of survey instructions
• Reduced risks by reviewing permits process to comply with regulations
• Attended industry training, association meetings and topical seminars to enhance job knowledge and skills
• Prepared and presented project cost estimates, determined project feasibility based on data analysis and recommended improvements
• Established and implemented construction schedules, methods, equipment and labor requirements, using Gantt charts and MS Project.
