I help MEP subcontractors win bids with precise, field-tested estimates delivered before your deadline. If you are a mechanical, electrical, or plumbing subcontractor who needs accurate takeoffs and bid-ready cost estimates, you are in the right place. I have 𝟱+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗘𝗣 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 across commercial, residential, multifamily, hospital, laboratory, airport, and recreation park projects. As lead estimator I have 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 $𝟭𝟭 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 in value which means I understand what accuracy looks like at real scale and exactly what a wrong number costs you at bid stage. ----------------------------------------𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁:------------------------------------ (1) 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 for plumbing and HVAC systems that reduce your project cost without cutting scope (if approve by code) (2) 𝗕𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 & 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 - I source bid opportunities directly through 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗛𝘂𝗯, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 filtering by ZIP Code Radius, bid deadlines, and project value so you never chase stale leads. Every estimate starts with scope confirmation, full drawing set and due date confirmation. This systematic approach is the same process I used as lead estimator to secure an $11 million project bid, coordinating a team of four from takeoff to final proposal submission. (3) 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 - I compare MEP, architectural and structural plans to identify scope gaps before they turn into expensive change orders on site (4) 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 - Review project documents to identify scope gaps, high-risk items, and potential cost impacts before bid submission. Assist subcontractors in developing competitive bid strategies by analyzing labor, material, and market conditions while maintaining realistic profit margins (5) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗙𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 when drawing sets are incomplete so, nothing falls through the cracks (6) 𝗠𝗘𝗣 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗼𝗳𝗳𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗺 - clean, precise, and bid-ready Detailed line-item cost breakdowns in Excel covering quantity, wastage, labor hours, labor rate, material cost and item total cost. (7) 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 within the first 2 hours of project approval - because a wrong assumption loses bids before the estimate is even written -----------------------------------------------𝗖𝗦𝗜 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲:----------------------------------------- 🧯Div. 21 Fire Suppression 🚰 Div. 22 Plumbing ❄️ Div. 23 Mechanical ⚡Div. 26 Electrical 📡Div. 27 Communications 🚨Div. 28 Electronic Safety and Security ----------------------------------------------------𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗜 𝘂𝘀𝗲:------------------------------------------------ . ● Plan Swift 11.0 ● Blue beam Revu 2017 ● Microsoft Excel ● RS Means ● Building Connected ● Plan Hub ● Construct Connect ----------------------------------------------------𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝘆:---------------------------------------- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5.0) || "Atif has been incredibly fast and accurate with every job.
