Brendan S.
Construction Estimator
As a licensed California General Contractor, with 18 years of hands-on construction experience I know the kind of project support builders and tradesmen need. As a consultant I work in areas in which I have full experience and knowledge. ESTIMATING: • Quantity Take-off • Fixed Price Estimates • Conceptual Project Budgets • Construction Bid Packages • Residential Upgrade • “Green Construction” Upgrade • Estimate Reviews • Product Research and Analysis For PROJECT MANAGEMENT: • Setup and Initiate Software Management for Small Builders • Labor and Material Costs Turned into Custom Estimating Libraries. • Project Review and Efficiency Analysis • Subcontracting Sourcing and Vetting • Project Coordination (Scheduling, Change Order Processing, Client/Architect/Builder Communication) • Permit Submission CONSULTING • Project Development and Viability • Building Code Compliance • LEED or other Zero Energy Certifications • Energy Efficiency Solutions I use StackCt for takeoff and estimating, with files available in editable Excel sheets. I am familiar with various project management platforms and software, and try to support all jobs within their existing software and communication networks. I can offer drawing PDFs with notes and color-coding for specific trades as part of the estimate. I continue to look ways to improve knowledge of materials, procedure, project assessment, and other ways to ensure the best possible construction support service. I highly value presentation, accuracy, and ongoing project support.
