Job Description

As an estimation engineer, your primary task is to analyze project requirements and create accurate cost estimates for construction or engineering projects. Here’s an overview of the typical tasks involved in estimation engineering:

Project Analysis: You’ll review project specifications, drawings, and other relevant documents to understand the scope, materials, and resources required. This involves assessing the complexity, size, and duration of the project.

Quantity Takeoff: You’ll perform a detailed quantity takeoff, which involves identifying and quantifying all the materials, equipment, and labor needed for the project. This includes analyzing drawings, specifications, and conducting site visits if necessary.

Cost Estimation: Based on the quantity takeoff, you’ll estimate the costs associated with materials, labor, equipment, subcontractors, and any other project expenses. You’ll consider factors such as market rates, project location, project duration, and any special considerations.
