With 8+ years of experience in construction estimation and quantity surveying, I specialize in delivering accurate, bid-ready estimates for residential, commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, retail, and municipal projects across the United States. My expertise lies in transforming complex construction drawings and specifications into precise material takeoffs, BOQs, and competitive cost estimates that help contractors win projects while protecting profit margins. Throughout my career, I have estimated projects across multiple CSI MasterFormat divisions, including Division 06 (Wood, Plastics & Composites), Division 08 (Openings & Glazing), Division 09 (Finishes), Division 10 (Specialties), Division 32 (Exterior Improvements & Landscaping), and Division 33 (Utilities & Site Improvements). My estimating experience covers fencing systems, glazing, storefronts, curtain walls, flooring, countertops, drywall, insulation, ceilings, painting, specialties, site furnishings, utilities, and structural lumber packages. I am highly proficient in PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu, using them to perform digital quantity takeoffs, area calculations, linear measurements, revision comparisons, overlay analysis, and drawing markups. My workflow includes reviewing architectural, structural, civil, and specification documents, identifying scope gaps, interpreting bid instructions, incorporating addendums, and preparing comprehensive Bills of Quantities (BOQs) that support procurement and tender submissions. Every estimate undergoes a structured quality assurance process to ensure consistency, completeness, and accuracy before submission. Beyond quantity takeoffs, I actively participate in the complete pre-construction estimating cycle, including scope review, bid leveling, subcontractor comparison, vendor pricing, RFIs, RFQs, value engineering, material optimization, labor cost evaluation, procurement coordination, and budget development.
