Commercial Construction
Melbourne
$90k - $100k
With 4 years of experience in the commercial building sector and an additional 2 years in joinery subcontracting, this professional brings a diverse skill set to the table. Proficient in industry-standard software such as Cost X, Cubit, Bluebeam, and Estimate One, he has a track record of estimating projects across various domains, including construction, fit-out, and refurbishment. From commercial to industrial and residential sectors, he has been part of successfully tendered projects ranging from $500K to $100M. Known for his innovative mindset and ‘can-do’ attitude, he has built an extensive network of subcontractors for both large and small jobs.
His project list includes building refurbishments, school projects, retail spaces, hospitals, residential developments, industrial ventures, and defence projects. These projects vary greatly in scale, from multimillion-dollar hospital constructions to intricate joinery estimates. Notably, he served as the Lead Estimator on a significant $35M D&C project.
In his most recent role as an Estimator, he undertook site visits, reviewed tender documents, and prepared quantity take-offs. His responsibilities included organizing tender review meetings, preparing tender response schedules, and responding to post-tender clarifications. He also assisted in preparing handover documents for awarded projects. His experience extends to being an Assistant Estimator, Fit-out/refurb Estimator, and Joinery Estimator.
His ability to manage budgets, liaise with subcontractors, and provide cost-saving options makes him an asset in the construction and estimating field. He is particularly suited for projects in the commercial construction setting, ideally in the Tier 2 or upper Tier 3 market, as a Junior to Intermediate Estimator.
