Christopher Williams
@christopherwilliams4
Sales Estimator and construction professional specializing in consultative selling and accurate bid proposals to close large-ticket contracts.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven sales professional with 10+ years of experience in high-value construction projects, focused on consultative selling, client relationship management, and closing large-ticket contracts. I bring a proven ability to identify client needs, present tailored solutions, and convert estimates into signed agreements across residential and commercial markets.
In my current role as a Sales Estimator, I perform detailed quantity takeoffs for insulation scopes on residential and commercial projects. I create accurate cost estimates, bid proposals, and scope management sheets based on project plans and site assessments, while evaluating site conditions, structural assemblies, and vendor material requirements. I communicate directly with contractors, builders, and property managers to clarify scope, pricing, and timelines, and I partner with production teams to align estimates with labor and installation schedules.
Previously, I served as a Project Manager / Estimator, estimating and managing residential new construction, remodels, and mechanical projects, including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. I handled blueprint reading, subcontractor coordination, and change order review to keep scope, schedule, and budget on track, while delivering clear project updates and maintaining jobsite safety and productivity. Earlier experience as a Heavy Equipment Operator and Carpenter reinforced my hands-on understanding of construction methods, sequencing, and the details that drive accurate estimating and successful outcomes.
