I work as a Cost Estimator responsible for preparing accurate quantity take-offs and detailed cost estimates based on architectural and engineering drawings for residential and commercial projects. My role includes reviewing plans and specifications, identifying materials, labor, and equipment costs, and developing clear cost breakdowns using tools such as Bluebeam and Excel. I analyze drawings for discrepancies and potential cost risks, coordinate with project teams to clarify scope and pricing, update estimates as designs change, and ensure all estimates align with Australian construction methods and standards while meeting deadlines in a remote work environment.
