Responsibilities
Site Takeoffs & Assessments: Walk sites with Sales, Design, and Project Managers; document existing conditions; perform quantity takeoffs (QTO) from plans, sketches, and field measurements.
Bottom-Up Estimating: Develop early Investment Ranges and detailed construction estimates by room and trade—calculating labor hours, materials, sub-trades, permits, dumpsters, and general conditions while applying DBC’s markup model.
Subcontractor & Supplier Bidding: Solicit, track, compare, and level trade bids during pre-construction; maintain the supplier price book to ensure complete, apples-to-apples coverage before contract numbers go out.
Scope & Value Engineering: Scrub initial project scopes with our integration team; define clear inclusions, exclusions, and allowances; lead value-engineering options with Design and PMs to flag margin risks and keep projects on budget.
Hard Bids & Secondary Support: Own architect-led and competitive hard bids from plan set to submitted number. Assist the Property Services team with small job quotes when pre-construction volume is slow.
