  • Strong Analytical Skills: Ability to analyze complex project specifications, drawings, and documents to produce accurate and comprehensive estimates.
  • Attention to Detail: Meticulous in cost estimation, forecasting, and budgeting with a commitment to accuracy.
  • Problem Solving: Strong ability to anticipate potential cost-related challenges and propose effective solutions.
