Preconstruction Estimator

Reference: rqvqx53jrsez0kjyvpsf

We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Estimator to support the early planning and pricing of construction projects from initial concept through to tender submission. The successful candidate will review drawings, specifications, scopes of work and other tender documentation to develop accurate, competitive and commercially sound estimates. This role will work closely with project managers, designers, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers to ensure all aspects of cost, programme and constructability are considered before work begins.

Key responsibilities will include preparing detailed quantity take-offs, reviewing project plans for omissions, discrepancies and potential risks, and obtaining and analysing subcontractor and supplier quotations. You will develop labour, material, plant and subcontract cost estimates, maintain pricing databases, prepare tender submissions and contribute to value engineering and cost-saving initiatives. The role will also involve attending site visits and pre-tender meetings, supporting bid reviews, maintaining clear estimating records and communicating assumptions, exclusions and qualifications to relevant stakeholders. You will be expected to track market conditions and construction cost trends while helping to identify opportunities and risks during the preconstruction phase.

Applicants should have proven experience in estimating, quantity surveying or a similar preconstruction position within the construction industry, together with a strong understanding of construction methods, materials, contracts and project costs. The ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications and schedules is essential, as is confidence using estimating software, spreadsheets and digital measurement tools. Strong numerical, analytical and organisational skills are required, along with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tenders to demanding deadlines. Effective communication and negotiation skills are important, as you will build productive relationships with internal teams, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers. A relevant construction, quantity surveying or commercial qualification would be advantageous.
