• Review bid packages, drawings, specifications, and scopes of work to determine project requirements and risks.
• Travel to project sites to take physical measurements, assess substrate condition, document existing damage, and identify access, dewatering, staging, and environmental constraints.
• Perform area-based quantity takeoffs and convert them to material requirements based on specified film thickness, substrate profile, and expected material loss.
• Estimate surface preparation (abrasive blasting, shotblasting, water jetting, crack and spall repair, priming), which is often the largest cost variable.
• Develop labor, equipment, and crew costs using production rates by substrate and geometry (flat surfaces, vertical walls, roof details, tanks).
• Obtain and compare pricing from manufacturers, suppliers, and subcontractors.

• Include QA/QC costs: adhesion testing, mil thickness verification, holiday testing, and documentation.
• Prepare bid proposals, scope clarifications, exclusions, and value-engineering alternatives.
• Participate in pre-bid meetings, client discussions, and post-award handoff to project management.
• Track actual job costs against estimates and refine production rates, cost databases, and estimating templates.
