Preconstruction Estimator - Orlando, FL
We are seeking a detail-oriented Preconstruction Estimator to support commercial construction projects in Orlando, Florida. This role will be responsible for preparing accurate and competitive estimates from concept through bid submission, working closely with project managers, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers. The successful candidate will help establish reliable project budgets, identify cost-saving opportunities, and contribute to sound preconstruction decisions.
Key responsibilities include reviewing drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and other contract documents; developing quantity takeoffs; soliciting, reviewing, and leveling subcontractor and supplier proposals; and preparing detailed conceptual, schematic, design development, and final estimates. You will maintain organized estimating files, track pricing and scope changes, clarify discrepancies, and communicate exclusions, assumptions, and risk items. The position will also support value engineering, bid strategy development, schedule and phasing reviews, and the preparation of professional bid presentations. Regular coordination with internal and external stakeholders will be essential to ensure estimates reflect current plans, market conditions, labor requirements, materials, equipment, and project logistics.
Candidates should have experience estimating commercial construction projects and a strong understanding of construction means, methods, materials, and cost structures. Proficiency with construction estimating and takeoff software, spreadsheets, and standard office applications is required; familiarity with platforms such as On-Screen Takeoff, Bluebeam, Sage Estimating, or comparable systems is advantageous. Strong mathematical, analytical, organizational, and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities. A degree in construction management, engineering, architecture, or a related discipline is preferred, although equivalent industry experience will be considered. The ideal candidate is proactive, collaborative, commercially aware, and committed to producing precise, timely, and well-supported estimates.
