Develop and manage Basis of Estimate (BOE) document throughout the
estimate lifecycle noting the scope, execution strategy, level of
precision, key assumptions, exclusions, risks, and other critical
information. Material Take Offs: Perform periodic material takeoffs
from 2D drawings or 3D models to validate design and contractor
proposed quantities. Estimating: Develop cost estimates from
high-level rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) to definitive, bottoms-up
estimates. Conduct estimate meetings and work closely with key
stakeholders including Engineering, Procurement, Scheduling, and
Construction Management to align the estimate with the execution
plan and enhance the overall accuracy of the estimate. Ensure
complete scope coverage of the estimate, identify the potential for
design growth, and ensure allowances are appropriately used.
Convert estimates into key unit rates and validate with industry
benchmarks and internal historical rates. Change Management:
