In this role, you will prepare and develop cost estimates ranging in accuracy from Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) to detailed construction estimates, working with a variety of internal departments.

• You will prepare ROM or conceptual estimates utilizing parametric estimating methods or developing cost models as a basis.
• You will evaluate drawings, specifications, site surveys, existing estimates, site conditions and other available materials and determine the project cost estimate.
• You will price labor using productivity and labor rates, adjusting rates to reflect complexity or conditions of a project.  You will review and estimate general conditions and supplementary conditions. 
• You will be familiar with alternative delivery methods, such as design-build, General Contractor/Construction Manager (GCCM), and job order contracts (JOC).  
• You will estimate material and equipment costs to a level of detail matching the design documents and prepare change order estimates that may include reviewing construction documents for scope and merit.
• You will identify risks and evaluate the design to determine the appropriate amount of contingencies. 
• You will determine all other costs, beyond probable construction cost, i.e. owner furnished material, maintenance, etc., to develop an overall project budget.
• You will assist project managers in quantifying project scope by identifying data gaps, as well as identifying and reviewing soft costs.
• You will review design and construct drawings and specifications for constructability or detail inconsistencies to reduce potential future change orders.
