  • Collaborate with procurement teams to ensure accurate pricing of materials and supplies.

  • Ensure that all cost components are included in the bid, including direct costs, indirect costs, overhead, and profit margins.

Documentation:

  • Maintain organized records of project estimates, bids, and related documents.
  • Update and revise cost estimates as project details evolve or change.

Market Research:

  • Stay updated on industry trends, material costs, and labor market fluctuations to ensure accurate estimations.
  • Analyze historical data and past projects to refine estimation techniques and improve accuracy.

Communication:

  • Present cost estimates and bids to clients, stakeholders, and management in a clear and professional manner.
  • Address questions and concerns related to cost estimates, explaining how various factors contribute to the final project cost.

  • Ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines.
  • Analytical and strong problem-solving ability.
  • Attention to detail.
