Construction Estimator and Project Manager delivering accurate costs, schedules, and value-engineered outcomes for commercial builds.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a commercial construction role where I can own pre-construction estimating and project execution—delivering accurate costs, proactive scheduling, and value engineering that reduces spend without sacrificing quality or compliance.

I’m a Results-driven Construction Estimator and Project Manager with 15+ years of experience overseeing commercial construction projects from pre-construction through closeout. I deliver accurate cost estimates, manage complex schedules, and translate program needs into clear plans that teams can execute.

In my estimating work, I collaborate with cross-functional partners on new store designs and produce detailed construction estimates for acquisitions, remodels, store rollouts, and capital improvement programs. I review estimate accuracy, analyze cost data to identify savings opportunities, and compile value engineering solutions that reduce project costs while maintaining quality.

Previously, I managed construction projects by preparing permitting/approval documents and coordinating contractors to prevent conflicts and delays. I handle contract administration—including reviewing contracts and change orders—and stay focused on continuous improvement, compliance with code and regulatory requirements, and reliable delivery against contractual dates.
