Estimation & Quantity Takeoff Services

Aug 2017 - Aug 2024 • 7 yrs

I have professional experience working with Estimation & Quantity Takeoff Services, where I developed strong expertise in construction cost estimation and material takeoffs for US, UK, and Australian–standard projects, including residential and commercial construction. During my role, I learned how to accurately read and interpret architectural, structural, and MEP drawings and convert them into precise quantity takeoffs, BOQs, and cost estimates in line with international construction practices. I have hands-on experience using PlanSwift and Bluebeam for digital takeoffs and Microsoft Excel for organized quantity sheets, cost breakdowns, and estimating reports. My work involved detailed takeoffs for concrete, rebar, masonry, drywall, finishes, and other trades, while ensuring accuracy and consistency. I am skilled in solving drawing-related issues, identifying missing or unclear details, and coordinating quantities with drawings and specifications. I understand the importance of accuracy, timelines, and clear communication when working with contractors, estimators, and clients. This experience has built a solid foundation in construction estimating principles, material takeoffs, and professional standards. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to delivering accurate, professional, and client-focused estimation services for US, UK, and AU projects.
