I am an architectural millwork estimator with more than 14 years of experience estimating custom millwork and high-end residential projects. I specialize in detailed quantity takeoffs, scope development, cost estimating, and independent estimate review from architectural drawings and specifications. My approach goes beyond simply counting items. A good takeoff should organize the project, clearly define the scope being carried, identify gaps or ambiguities, and provide a solid foundation for accurate pricing and project execution. I can assist with: • Architectural millwork and cabinetry quantity takeoffs • Scope development and organization • Cost estimating using your company’s labor rates, material costs, productivity factors, and pricing structure • Conceptual and budget estimating based on defined project assumptions • Independent estimate and bid review • Scope gaps, qualifications, and clarifications • Proposal and bid preparation I have extensive experience with custom cabinetry, architectural millwork, paneling, doors, and specialty interior woodwork. I can adapt takeoffs and estimate organization to match your company’s terminology and workflow, work within your existing estimating template, or develop pricing using established project parameters. I currently use ZZTakeoff for quantity takeoffs and also have extensive experience with PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu. Whether you need a detailed takeoff, help developing a project budget, or an experienced second set of eyes on an existing estimate, my goal is to provide methodical, accurate work that clearly communicates what is—and is not—being carried.
