Provide strategic input on bid strategy, value engineering, constructability, and alternative delivery models.
Develop and maintain strong relationships with subcontractors, suppliers, clients, developers, and consultants.
Monitor market conditions, labour and material pricing, and subcontractor trends to improve cost forecasting.
Support contract negotiations through cost analysis, scope clarification, and risk assessment.
Lead the implementation and improvement of estimating technology, digital tools, cost databases, and benchmarking systems.
Track estimating KPIs, including bid-to-win ratios, estimate accuracy, and proposal performance.
