ROLE OVERVIEW:

The Preconstruction Estimator plays a crucial role within the estimating team, contributing to the preparation of cost proposals for significant architectural millwork and ornamental metal projects. This position is ideal for a highly organized and detail-oriented professional who can work autonomously, manages time effectively under tight deadlines, and upholds discretion when dealing with sensitive information. Strong communication, organizational, and technical skills are essential.

  • Interpret and analyze architectural and construction drawings to ensure accuracy in proposal development.
  • Evaluate labor and material costs for the fabrication and installation phases of complex architectural millwork and ornamental metalwork.
  • Leverage advanced Excel skills for estimating and tracking purposes.
  • Manage and coordinate Requests for Information (RFIs) with meticulous attention to detail.
  • Develop and maintain schedules for fabrication, shipping, and installation processes.
  • Assess potential budget and schedule adjustments and compile relevant reports.
  • Oversee and monitor project progress, ensuring unresolved issues are tracked and addressed.
  • Prepare detailed documentation to support the analysis of specific project concerns.
  • Facilitate and document meetings as required by project leadership.
  • Engage in special assignments as needed, adhering to high ethical standards and professionalism.
  • Collaborate with production leads to gather accurate labor hour data and address details not captured in drawings.
  • Occasional travel may be required to meet with clients or general contractors for bid clarifications and project scope discussions.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, national origin, age, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, disability, medical condition, genetic information, pregnancy, or military or veteran status. We consider all qualified applicants, including those with criminal histories, in a manner consistent with state and local laws, including the California Fair Chance Act, City of Los Angeles' Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance, and Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance. To the extent our customers require a background check for certain positions, the Company faces a significant risk to its business operations and business reputation unless a review of criminal history is conducted for those specific job positions.
