Day in the life

First things first make a to-do-list. Start with the hardest and most important tasks, after that everything will be a breeze. Meeting time! Ensure all project documents are regularly tracked, updated, and properly managed so all the team members have access to them. It’s important to stay organized. Going out for lunch? Make sure you deliver samples to the lab and pickup material orders on your way back. Somedays you will be assisting with claims litigation, and others you will be working closely with superintendents and project coordinators on cost tracking, project planning, scheduling, and quantities. At the end of the day, make sure everything is done because tomorrow you will have another full day on site.

You may be working on multiple projects at a time with specific plans, tracking project quantities and cost analysis and don’t want to get anything mixed up. Confidentiality is a must as you will be reviewing tender documents and managing the distribution and receipt of non-disclosure agreements. Tasks can vary daily as an Estimator as you will also be assisting with project set-up including subcontractor and vendor agreement preparation and document submissions. Attention to detail will be critical for success.
