A Job Description For A Freelance Construction Estimator

By Beryl Dalton


When one would want to construct something like a building or some other infrastructure, he has to take the cost into consideration so that he does not need to spend much. For this kind of job, a lot of clients would hire a freelance construction estimator so that they will have a clearer picture of how much they should spend. So for those who do not know, here are some of the tasks of these people.

Now as an estimator, one has to do a deep analysis of all the blueprints and the documents that the construction company would provide him. Now he has to make sure that he knows how much each material is going to cost, how much each equipment will end up, and how much the total cost of the labor would be. Aside from that, he also has to find out just how long it will take in order for the building of the infrastructure to finish.

Once he does that, the next thing that has to be done would be the assessment of the products and services to be used on the project. The estimators have to make sure that these products or services are effective and that they will work well for the project. They also have to assess the level of effectiveness of these things and let the client know.

The next thing to do would be to discuss with the foreman how the actual distribution of costs will be. Estimators have to make sure that the costs that the construction company would more or less match theirs otherwise the estimators would have to do a little negotiating. They will be dealing with the people from the construction companies in order to get the best prices.

Now from there, the estimators will be getting the exact costs and figures by cooperating with a few engineers and also some architects. Now they are going to do this because they have to know the exact figures that will then be presented to the company. Of course since these people are the professionals in the field, then they will definitely know what the exact figures are going to be.

Now upon gaining all of the figures, they will be presenting it to the management in order for the management to do some planning. Now the figures are extremely important to the planning process because it will help the management be able to come up with the proper strategy. Of course the estimator will also be aiding the management too.

From there, they will also be suggesting to the management where to buy the best materials and getting subcontractors. The goal is to make sure that the costs are cut down as much as possible. Of course they also have to make sure quality is still there.

So as one can see, an estimator can be very helpful to anyone who would want to create a building or an infrastructure. They will be the ones who will try to cut down the costs of the client. They will also make sure that the end result is good.
