Prepare and present accurate, professional quotes, bids, and pricing recommendations for contractors, builders, customers, and internal sales teams.
Collaborate with customers, contractors, vendors, and sales teams to gather project information, clarify requirements, and develop competitive proposals.
Clearly document estimate assumptions, exclusions, and project specifications to ensure accurate communication.
Coordinate and revise estimates as project plans, material selections, or customer requirements change.
Ensure quotes, bids, and estimate revisions are completed within established deadlines.

Documentation & Accuracy

Maintain accurate and organized estimating records, including blueprints, specifications, digital files, project notes, and revision histories.
Track estimate status, customer follow-ups, and project changes to ensure timely communication and completion.
Review estimates and supporting documentation for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with company standards.

Sales & Operational Support

Work closely with sales and yard operations to coordinate material requirements and support efficient project planning.
Assist retail and contractor customers with product information, material selections, and estimating-related questions.
Support daily sales operations, including processing sales tickets and assisting customers as needed.
Manage multiple estimates and prioritize daily, weekly, and project deadlines while maintaining accuracy and supporting team productivity.
