Responsibilities: • Review and interpret drawings and specs (provided). • Perform takeoffs and assist with line-item estimating (materials, labor, equipment). • Reach out to suppliers/vendors for pricing on historic-grade windows and finishes. • Build a detailed and organized estimate spreadsheet (Excel or equivalent). • Format pricing per VA bid standards. Requirements: • Experience with commerical construction estimating • Familiarity with historic restoration or SHPO compliance is a plus. • Strong attention to detail and ability to break down scope cleanly. • Ability to communicate clearly and meet a quick turnaround.
