Job summary

Building Blocks Facades on Florida's Space Coast is seeking a Senior Pre-Construction Manager to own the bid from RFP to turnover. You’ll verify takeoffs, secure supplier pricing, define scope, and build a design basis your operations team can build to.

This is a senior individual-contributor role reporting to our VP of Sales. You’ll run the bid workflow end to end, manage intake, takeoffs from drawings, supplier RFQs, cost estimation, design coordination, and prepare clear proposals.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of estimating or pre-construction experience at a facade, curtain wall, precast, cast stone, or architectural metals subcontractor, where you carried fabrication cost risk.
• Takeoffs you've done yourself from architectural drawings and specs, not just reviewed.
• Experience building estimates from supplier RFQs and leveling competing quotes.
• Proposals you've written with clear inclusions, exclusions, and clarifications, treated as real risk control rather than boilerplate.
• Strong Excel skills and fluency in Bluebeam or similar takeoff software.

Responsibilities

• Log each RFP, build the bid calendar, track addenda, and flag gaps in the documents so Sales can send RFIs.
• Perform GFRC and UHPC takeoffs from architectural drawings and specs, including panels, areas, edges, returns, embeds, and connections.
• Issue RFQs to glazing, steel, anchor, freight, and install partners, then level the quotes and document what each one includes and excludes.
• Build the cost estimate covering materials, molds, labor, freight, install, and contingency, with quality levels and alternates priced as separate line items.
• Bring in our architectural, technical, and engineering design teams early to confirm the panel strategy and connections and record the design basis behind the price.
• Write clear scopes, inclusions, exclusions, and clarifications, and submit every bid on time.
• Hand Project Management a complete bid file on every award, and keep the bid log current with status, value, and won/lost reasons.
