CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATOR / CIVIL ENGINEER

My experience in construction estimating has helped me develop strong analytical and organizational skills. I have learned how to review construction drawings and specifications, perform quantity takeoffs, and estimate the costs of materials, labor, equipment, and other project expenses. I also compare supplier quotations, check current market prices, and prepare detailed cost estimates to support project planning and budgeting. Through this experience, I have gained a better understanding of the importance of accuracy and attention to detail, as even small errors can affect the overall project budget and schedule. I have also improved my communication and teamwork skills by coordinating with engineers, architects, suppliers, and project managers to ensure that estimates are complete and reliable. Working in construction estimating has taught me how to manage deadlines, solve problems, and make informed decisions. Overall, this experience has strengthened my confidence in preparing cost estimates and has contributed to the successful planning and execution of construction projects.

I have experience using PlanSwift for construction estimating and quantity takeoffs. I use the software to review digital construction drawings, measure dimensions, calculate material quantities, and generate accurate takeoff reports. I am familiar with creating and organizing project files, using measurement tools, applying assemblies, and producing detailed estimates to support project budgeting and planning. My experience with PlanSwift has improved my accuracy, efficiency, and attention to detail when preparing estimates. It has also helped me understand construction drawings better and streamline the estimating process, contributing to more reliable project cost projections and effective decision-making.

I have experience using Bluebeam Revu to review, mark up, and analyze construction drawings and project documents. I use the software to perform digital quantity takeoffs, create measurements, add annotations, and manage PDF drawings efficiently. I am familiar with using markup tools, measurement features, layers, and custom tool sets to support estimating, document review, and project coordination. My experience with Bluebeam Revu has improved my ability to interpret construction plans accurately, collaborate with project team members, and organize project documentation. It has also enhanced my efficiency in preparing quantity takeoffs and ensuring that project information is clear, accurate, and well-documented throughout the estimating process.

Licensed Civil Engineer with over 6 years of experience in project supervision, cost estimation, and quantity take-offs. Skilled in prepeparing BOQ’s, monitoring construction progress, and coordinating with contractors and suppliers to ensure timely and high-quality project completion. Proficient in Microsoft Excel, AutoCAD and Project Documentation. Detailed-Oriented and committed to supporting efficient and cost-effective project delivery.

I have experience using AutoCAD to create, edit, and review 2D technical drawings for construction and engineering projects. I am proficient in preparing floor plans, elevations, sections, and detailed construction drawings while ensuring accuracy and compliance with project requirements. I use AutoCAD tools to modify designs, apply dimensions and annotations, manage layers, and organize drawing layouts for clear and efficient documentation. My experience with AutoCAD has strengthened my understanding of construction drawings, drafting standards, and design coordination. It has also improved my attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and ability to produce accurate drawings that support project planning, estimating, and construction activities.

I have experience using Microsoft Excel to organize, analyze, and manage project data for construction estimating and project administration. I use Excel to prepare cost estimates, quantity takeoff summaries, budgets, material lists, and project tracking spreadsheets. I am proficient in using formulas, functions, tables, charts, conditional formatting, data validation, and pivot tables to improve data accuracy and reporting. My experience with Microsoft Excel has enhanced my ability to perform calculations efficiently, organize large amounts of information, and generate clear reports that support project planning and decision-making. It has also strengthened my attention to detail, analytical skills, and ability to maintain accurate project records while meeting deadlines.
