What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-ready construction estimation role where I can produce precise take-offs and full-scope bids, collaborate through RFIs, and use Bluebeam/PlanSwift and Excel to improve cost accuracy and project outcomes.

I build reliable construction estimates and take-offs that keep projects on scope, on cost, and moving forward. I’ve prepared full-scope plumbing bids and completed digital plan take-offs using Bluebeam and PlanSwift, consolidating RFQs into estimating databases to reduce manual effort and errors.

Across my public works and highway roles, I checked 320+ as-staked/as-built quantities, tracked 150+ variation orders, and maintained cost variance within tight thresholds while aligning design revisions, site progress, and financial forecasts. I also prepared cost estimates and construction-ready drawings for 30+ projects (Php670M+ bid value), improved designs by reducing construction costs by 12%, maintained 95% measurement accuracy, and supported teams through mentorship in quantity takeoffs and estimating.

Checked and evaluated as-staked and as-built quantities with variation orders, tracked variation orders over multiple projects, and reviewed contractor progress billings. Managed commitment-versus-disbursement tracking and produced S-curve projections to monitor planned vs. actual accomplishments and address negative slippage.
