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.
