CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATOR | QUANTITY SURVEYOR | PRECONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
I am a Civil Engineer and Construction Estimator with 5+ years of experience in construction estimating, quantity takeoffs, cost analysis, project coordination, and site implementation.
I have estimated and supported 20+ construction projects, including residential, commercial, educational, mixed-use, ground-up, renovation, façade/exterior wall, painting, waterproofing, and other building works. One of the largest projects I have estimated was a high school building valued at approximately PHP 100 million.
My strength is turning construction drawings and specifications into organized, accurate, and easy-to-review quantities, BOQs, estimates, and bid information.
ESTIMATING & PRECONSTRUCTION
I can assist with:
• Detailed quantity takeoffs
• Material and labor estimating
• BOQ / Bill of Quantities preparation
• Architectural and structural plan review
• Civil and selected MEP quantity takeoffs
• Scope review and scope narratives
• Bid package preparation
• Subcontractor and supplier quotation comparison
• Bid leveling and cost comparison
• Drawing and specification review
• Identification of missing or conflicting information
• RFI preparation
• Change order and variation evaluation
• Progress and final billing quantity verification
• Procurement and material tracking
• Construction documentation and reporting
SOFTWARE
• PlanSwift – Quantity takeoffs and estimating
• Microsoft Excel – Advanced estimating, cost analysis, BOQs, and reports
• Bluebeam Revu – Drawing review and takeoff
• AutoCAD
• SketchUp
• Microsoft Word
• Microsoft Project – Familiar
• Construction/project-management platforms – adaptable and quick to learn
TAKEOFF EXPERIENCE
I can perform:
• Area takeoffs
• Linear takeoffs
• Count takeoffs
• Concrete quantities
• Masonry / CHB
• Reinforcing steel
• Structural steel
• Roofing
• Ceilings
• Painting and waterproofing
• Flooring and finishes
• Doors and windows
• Carpentry
• Architectural finishes
• Selected electrical, plumbing, and MEP quantities
I review drawings carefully rather than simply measuring quantities. When information is missing, inconsistent, or unclear, I identify the issue and prepare questions or RFIs instead of making unsupported assumptions.
PROJECT & CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
My experience also includes project coordination, procurement support, subcontractor/vendor coordination, quantity verification, progress billing evaluation, construction documentation, reports, RFIs, and monitoring of construction works.
This allows me to understand an estimate from both the estimator's and the construction team's perspective.
WHY WORK WITH ME
I bring an engineering background, hands-on construction knowledge, attention to detail, and an organized estimating workflow.
I understand that accurate estimating is not only about measuring drawings. It also requires understanding the scope, specifications, construction methods, exclusions, assumptions, and potential scope gaps before the estimate is submitted.
I am comfortable working independently while communicating questions early whenever clarification is needed.
REMOTE WORK SETUP
• 100 Mbps internet connection
• Mobile hotspot backup
• Backup power available
• Intel Core i5 computer
• 16 GB RAM
• 1 TB storage
• Available to work schedules aligned with U.S., Australian, New Zealand, or other international clients
I am currently interested in long-term remote opportunities involving Construction Estimating, Quantity Surveying, Takeoffs, Preconstruction, Bid Support, or Construction Project Coordination.
