Construction Estimator | Bluebeam | Quantity Takeoffs | Civil

Need an experienced heavy-civil estimator who understands how the work will actually be built—not just how to measure plans? I provide detailed earthwork, grading, utility, concrete and sitework takeoffs backed by approximately 25 years in construction and 15 years in estimating. The first ten years of my career were spent working in the field to get a deep understanding of how the work was completed. I’ve worked as both a General Contractor and Subcontractor on multi-million-dollar civil projects, which gives me real-world production insight — not just plan reading. I understand how drawings translate into dirt moving, pipe installation, aggregate placement, paving, and concrete work. My estimates reflect true field productivity, equipment efficiency, crew performance, and risk management. What I Specialize In: Earthwork & mass grading takeoffs Wet utilities (water, sewer, storm drain) Roadway & DOT infrastructure estimating Residential subdivision site development Commercial & industrial sitework Bridge & structural excavation scopes Bid preparation & cost breakdowns What You Can Expect: ✔ Accurate quantity takeoffs ✔ Realistic production-based pricing ✔ Competitive and profitable bid structures ✔ Clear, organized estimate summaries ✔ Quick turnaround times I focus on building estimates that win work while protecting your margins. If you’re a contractor, developer, or subcontractor needing reliable heavy civil estimating support, I’d be glad to help.
