Construction Estimator | Material Takeoff | Bluebeam & PlanSwift
Facing a tight bid deadline or worried about missing quantities? I prepare organized material takeoffs, BOQs, and construction cost estimates so you can review your scope and submit your bid with clear supporting numbers. Incomplete quantities and unclear exclusions make it harder to price a project confidently. I help general contractors and subcontractors turn construction drawings into trade-by-trade estimates with quantities they can trace back to the plans. As a Top Rated Plus construction estimator with 100% Job Success, I bring 5+ years of experience and several completed estimating projects across residential and commercial construction. My work helps you: • Review material quantities in an organized Excel workbook • Check measured items against color-coded PDF markups • Identify scope gaps through documented assumptions and exclusions • Review material and labor costs with the pricing basis clearly stated • Plan your bid preparation around an agreed delivery schedule Services I provide: • Material and quantity takeoffs • Construction cost estimates • Bills of Quantities (BOQs) • Trade-specific estimates and material summaries • Bid preparation and tender support Project scopes can include sitework, concrete, masonry, structural steel, framing, roofing, drywall, insulation, flooring, finishes, doors and windows, and MEP. My portfolio includes concrete takeoffs for multi-storey apartments in Sydney, drywall and framing takeoffs for a commercial gym in Tennessee, and commercial retail estimating in New York. I work with Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, On-Screen Takeoff, CostX, and Microsoft Excel. Where appropriate, priced estimates can incorporate RSMeans and regional labor rates. Whether you need a single-trade takeoff or ongoing estimating support, I’ll confirm the deliverables, pricing scope, and turnaround after reviewing your drawings. Have a bid coming up? Invite me to your project on Upwork and share your PDF drawings, project location, required trades, and deadline. I’ll review the scope and provide a quote with a delivery timeline.
