About Us
Were a hands-on commercial general contractor that takes pride in doing the work ourselves. From concrete and excavation to carpentry, trim-out, and interior finishes we self-perform many aspects of our projects and are proud of the quality that comes with that. As we continue to grow, were looking for a reliable, detail-focused Construction Estimator to join our team.

- Break down scopes of work for self-performed trades like concrete, carpentry, trim, etc.
- Gather and compare subcontractor and supplier quotes
- Help build realistic project budgets and timelines with our project management team
- Visit sites (when needed) to understand logistics or confirm details
- Track changes to scope or design and update pricing accordingly
- Find ways to keep us competitive without cutting corners
- Keep records of pricing history and completed estimates for future reference
What Were Looking For
- A solid understanding of commercial construction and how things go together
- Estimating experience (ideally 3+ years), especially in trades like concrete, carpentry, and finishes
- Confidence in your abilities and the ability to work without direction
- Strong attention to detail, especially with numbers and scopes
- Able to read and interpret construction drawings and specs
- Good communicator comfortable talking to subs, suppliers, and the team
- Organized and dependable
Bonus Points If You Have
