Preconstruction Estimator - Miami, FL
Preconstruction Estimator – Miami, FL. We are seeking a detail-oriented construction professional to support the successful planning and pricing of commercial and/or residential projects from initial concept through bid submission. This role will be responsible for preparing accurate, competitive estimates while working closely with project managers, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers. The ideal candidate is analytical, organised, and comfortable managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Key responsibilities include reviewing drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and contract documents; performing quantity takeoffs; developing labour, material, equipment, and subcontractor cost estimates; and identifying exclusions, assumptions, risks, and value-engineering opportunities. You will solicit and evaluate subcontractor and vendor quotations, maintain up-to-date pricing information, prepare bid tabs and detailed proposals, and assist with scope clarification and bid levelling. The position will also contribute to preconstruction schedules, conceptual budgets, cost comparisons, and constructability reviews, while maintaining thorough documentation throughout the estimating process.
Applicants should have several years of experience in construction estimating, preconstruction, or a related field, with a strong understanding of building methods, materials, and project costs. Proficiency with construction estimating software, spreadsheets, digital takeoff tools, and Microsoft Office is preferred. The ability to interpret architectural, structural, civil, and MEP plans is essential, as is familiarity with local subcontractor markets and construction practices in South Florida. Strong communication, negotiation, time-management, and problem-solving skills are required. A degree in construction management, engineering, architecture, or a related discipline is beneficial, though equivalent practical experience will be considered. This position is based in Miami, Florida, and may require occasional attendance at project, client, or subcontractor meetings.
