You will own the full takeoff and pre-construction lifecycle for both high-end custom homes ($1M–$3.2M+) and commercial tenant improvements (TI). The ideal candidate is a "nitty-gritty" detail guru who practices intense due diligence, ensuring no finish, specialized trade, or scope detail is ever missed.

• Manage the complete pre-construction pipeline, including thorough bid preparation, compiling submittal packages, managing RFIs, and tracking document revisions.
• Lead vendor outreach and subcontractor coordination to source reliable, honest pricing and eliminate downstream scope gaps.
• Integrate data smoothly into the client's internal processes and learn to navigate their custom-built, proprietary bidding software/system.
• Meticulously review project documentation to execute bulletproof double-checks, ensuring final bids are fully transparent and inclusive of all specialized components.

Project Types

• High-end custom residential builds ($1M–$3.2M+ scope)
• Commercial tenant improvements (TI) and full commercial build-outs
• Commercial kitchen builds (incorporating complex systems like commercial exhaust hoods and specialized equipment)
• Multi-divisional coordination involving custom cabinetry and specialized finishes

Qualifications

• 3 to 10+ years of dedicated construction estimating experience, with extensive exposure to U.S.-based projects and market context.

• Highly fluent in industry-standard takeoff tools such as Bluebeam, PlanSwift, or On-Screen Takeoff (OST), with a strong aptitude for adapting to proprietary digital systems.
• Absolute bilingual fluency in English (written and spoken) for seamless internal reporting and professional vendor/subcontractor collaboration.
