• Solid understanding of construction materials, methods, and costs for low-rise builds

Attributes

• You communicate clearly with architects, clients, and project managers, and you follow through on what you say
• You can juggle multiple estimates and deadlines at once without losing accuracy
• You build genuine relationships with clients and understand that trust wins repeat business
• You take initiative and pitch in wherever the Project Manager needs support
