Shafaqat A.
Construction Cost Estimator | Quantity & Material Takeoff | PlanSwift
Construction estimator and quantity takeoff specialist for US and Canadian GCs and subcontractors. Registered Civil Engineer (PEC), 6+ years, 2,000+ projects. My estimates helped win a concrete demolition contract at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Before founding Urban Estimation, I was QA & Pricing Head at a US estimating firm, auditing GC and subcontractor bids across the US and Canada. I know why a number is wrong when it's wrong. What I cover: - GC estimates across all CSI divisions for commercial, healthcare and institutional work - Sitework and earthwork: cut/fill, utilities, grading, paving - Concrete, demolition and MEP takeoffs - Trade takeoffs: drywall and framing, painting, glazing, electrical - Construction schedules in Primavera P6 and MS Project What you get: marked-up plans from PlanSwift or Bluebeam, an editable Excel cost breakdown with RSMeans-based pricing, and a scope narrative flagging gaps and risks. Turnaround is 24 to 48 hours, or 48 to 72 for full GC packages. "Shafaqat is a pleasure to work with. He follows up consistently and is a good estimator."
