Muhammad Tayyab A.
Construction Estimator
Spend less time measuring drawings and more time bidding on your next project. I help contractors prepare detailed material takeoffs, itemized cost estimates, and construction schedules so they can bid with confidence and plan their work. I’m a civil engineer and construction estimator with 1,100+ completed projects for clients across the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. My experience covers residential, commercial, multifamily, and renovation projects, from individual trade takeoffs to complete estimates across multiple CSI divisions. Whether you need quantities for a specific scope, a detailed project estimate, grading and earthwork calculations, or a construction schedule, I tailor my work to your requirements and preferred format. I can support your project with: • Material Takeoffs & Cost Estimation Detailed quantity takeoffs using PlanSwift, organized Excel estimates, and material and labor pricing using RSMeans data for applicable projects. Breakdowns can be arranged by CSI division, trade, floor, building, or your own template. • Grading & Earthwork Takeoffs: Cut and fill calculations from existing and proposed grading plans, excavation, backfill, topsoil stripping, and import/export quantities using Kubla and EarthworkPro. Related sitework scopes include paving, curbs, sidewalks, drainage, utilities, and site demolition. • Construction Planning & Scheduling: Project schedules using Primavera P6 and MS Project, including Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Gantt charts, activity sequencing, dependencies, milestones, and critical path analysis to support construction planning and management. My estimating scope includes concrete, rebar, formwork, masonry, structural steel, lumber and framing, roofing, waterproofing, insulation, doors and windows, drywall, ceilings, flooring, painting, specialties, equipment, furnishings, fire suppression, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, earthwork, exterior improvements, utilities, and demolition. Depending on your agreed scope, your deliverables can include: • An editable Excel quantity takeoff, Bill of Quantities (BOQ), or cost estimate. • Item descriptions, units, quantities, unit prices, and line-item totals. • Marked-up, color-coded PDF drawings for easy quantity review. • Clearly stated assumptions, exclusions, and items requiring clarification. • Earthwork quantity summaries and supporting reports. • Editable Primavera P6 or MS Project schedule files with PDF exports. You can expect clear communication, organized documentation, and a delivery date agreed around your project’s complexity and bid deadline. Typical estimating turnaround is 2–3 working days, confirmed after reviewing the drawings and scope. Sample work is available, and I can adapt the deliverables to your company’s estimating format. Send me your PDF drawings, project location, required trades, and deadline. I’ll review the scope and provide a clear quotation and turnaround time.
