Support proposal presentations and help qualified homeowners move toward signed agreements.
Ensure projects are properly priced and positioned for healthy production margins.
Maintain accurate estimating, lead, and project information within Buildertrend or a comparable platform.

Position summary

This position is responsible for producing detailed, defensible cost assessments and preliminary project consultative guidance for residential remodeling projects.

- KR1.1: Produce complete conceptual and detailed estimates for assigned opportunities within agreed bid windows 95% of the time.
- KR1.2: Maintain a target estimate-to-final cost variance of ±8% for closed projects (measured at Substantial Completion) across portfolio within 12 months.
- KR1.3: Document basis of estimate (BOE) and assigned contingencies for 100% of estimates submitted for approval.
\n
Objective 2 — Improve estimate reliability and speed through process and data management.\n
- KR2.1: Increase reuse of standard assemblies/unit rates by 30% and reduce ad-hoc line-item estimating by 30% within 9 months.
- KR2.2: Populate and maintain project cost database entries for each closed project with full reconciliation within 30 days of completion.
- KR2.3: Reduce average estimating cycle time per bid by 20% through template and workflow improvements within 9 months.
\n
Objective 3 — Support commercial win strategy while preserving margin discipline.\n
- KR3.1: Provide margin and risk analysis for pricing decisions on 100% of competitive bids over a defined threshold.
- KR3.2: Identify and quantify at least two cost-saving design or scope alternatives per large-value opportunity prior to bid submission.
\n
Objective 4 — Enable smooth transition from estimating to project execution.\n
- KR4.1: Handover complete estimate package and BOE to project management within 48 hours of contract award for 100% of awarded projects.
- KR4.2: Participate in at least 90% of initial project kickoff meetings to review assumptions and risk items.
\n

\n\n

Key performance indicators (KPIs)

Estimate accuracy: variance between estimated total installed cost and actual final cost at project close (target ±8%).
Bid delivery punctuality: percentage of estimates delivered by the agreed deadline (target ≥95%).
Estimate completeness: percentage of estimates accompanied by documented BOE, contingency rationale, and scope narrative (target 100%).
Cycle time: mean time from scope receipt to final estimate submission (target reduction of 20% year-over-year).
Database completeness: percentage of closed projects with reconciled cost entries and lessons-learned summaries within 30 days (target 100%).
Win/margin tradeoffs: number and quality of documented margin preservation actions or alternative scopes provided per opportunity; tracking of projects where recommended actions were implemented and their impact on margin.

Internal problems solved:\n
- Sales and leadership obtain defensible price positions and risk assessments necessary to make consistent bid/no-bid and pricing decisions.
- Project delivery teams receive a clear cost baseline and documented assumptions that reduce rework, change orders, and disputes during construction.
- Procurement gains structured scopes and subcontractor breakdowns that support targeted subcontractor solicitations and negotiations.
- Finance and operations benefit from accurate forecasting and improved historical cost data to inform strategic planning and margin management.
\n

\n\n

\n
Data and process management:\n

\n
Communication and collaboration:\n
- Clear written and verbal communication skills for explaining assumptions, risks, and alternatives to internal stakeholders and clients.
- Ability to coordinate inputs from sales, design, procurement, and subcontractors and to facilitate rapid clarification of scope questions.
\n
Analytical and judgement capabilities:\n
- Strong quantitative analysis capacity and practical judgment to set contingencies, escalate risks, and recommend scope or value-engineering options.
- Experience applying different estimating methods (parametric, bottom-up, historical benchmarking) and selecting the appropriate approach by phase.
\n
Professional traits and experience:\n
- Attention to detail, organization, and a bias for documentation.
- Prior experience in residential remodeling estimating or related construction estimating role; familiarity with local labor and material markets is advantageous.
- Continuous improvement mindset with ability to implement template, tool, and process changes that raise throughput and reliability.
