Profile Description

Remote Estimator | Quantity Surveyor | Scheduler for U.S., Canadian & Australian Builders

I’m a remote project engineer, estimator, and quantity surveyor supporting general contractors,
subcontractors, and developers across the U.S., Canada, and Australia. I deliver accurate
quantity takeoffs, scope-aligned cost estimates, watertight schedules, and clean project
documentation — without the overhead of a full-time hire.

The Numbers (as of 2026)

• 130,000+ SF — largest single project (Skilled Nursing Facility, New Haven, CT)
• 20+ project estimates delivered across three countries
• 4+ years of construction estimating and engineering experience
• 2–4 projects per month delivery cadence sustained over 12 months at a CT general
contractor
• 10+ residential projects delivered for a single Nova Scotia developer — from 6-unit groundups to custom homes, ADUs, and feasibility studies

What I Deliver

• Quantity Worksheets — trade-by-trade, organized by CSI division or your custom
package structure (Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Buildxact source files included)
• Cost Estimates — unit-priced line items in your template, with assumptions, exclusions,
and allowances documented up front
• Bid Packages & Bid Leveling Matrices — subcontractor solicitation, like-for-like quote
comparison, recommended-award column with rationale
• Coordination Files — submittals, RFIs, drawing-revision logs, procurement trackers;
maintained live in Procore, JobTread, or ClickUp

Why Clients Keep Me On

I run multiple parallel projects across time zones with zero micromanagement required.
Estimates are auditable — every quantity ties back to the drawings, every unit rate is sourced,
and every revision is documented. I adapt to your workflow, your software, and your templates
— whether that’s CSI MasterFormat, labour-hour bid packages, or Buildxact estimates in your
house format.
