CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATOR / ASSISTANT DESIGNER

I regularly worked with AutoCAD drawings to measure areas, lengths, and quantities for architectural, structural, and MEP scopes. My responsibilities included interpreting plans and details, preparing BOQs, coordinating quantities with Excel-based cost sheets, and identifying drawing discrepancies that could impact cost. I supported bid preparation, revisions, and change orders by updating CAD take-offs efficiently, ensuring accurate and well-documented estimates.

I have two years of experience in 3D design for construction projects, creating accurate architectural and basic structural models to support planning, visualization, and estimating. I developed 3D models from 2D CAD drawings to illustrate layouts, elevations, and key construction details. My work supported quantity take-offs, design coordination, and client presentations by helping visualize materials, dimensions, and spatial relationships. I ensured models aligned with project drawings and specifications while making revisions based on design changes, client feedback, and constructability requirements.

I have two years of hands-on experience as a Construction Estimator supporting residential and small commercial projects. My role involved preparing detailed quantity take-offs, cost estimates, and budgets based on drawings, specifications, and client requirements. I regularly analyzed labor, material, and equipment costs, coordinated with suppliers and subcontractors for pricing, and assisted in bid preparation and comparison. I also reviewed plans for discrepancies, managed BOQs, tracked cost changes, and supported project teams with value engineering and cost control. My experience includes using Excel and estimating tools to deliver accurate, timely estimates while meeting tight deadlines and maintaining strong attention to detail.

I have two years of experience using Microsoft Excel to support construction estimating, costing, and project tracking. I used Excel to prepare detailed quantity take-offs, BOQs, cost breakdowns, and bid summaries with formulas for accuracy and consistency. My work included organizing material, labor, and subcontractor costs; using functions such as SUM, IF, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, and basic pivot tables; and formatting reports for client and management review. I also used Excel to track revisions, compare bids, and update estimates efficiently while maintaining data accuracy and version control.
