I’m gearing up for a new commercial build and need an experienced estimation engineer to prepare a complete, defensible cost breakdown as quickly as possible. The goal is a clear picture of every dollar required—from materials and labour to equipment, overhead, and reasonable contingencies—so I can lock in financing and schedule with confidence. Here’s what I expect: • A detailed Bill of Quantities with unit rates and total costs • Material and labour take-offs drawn from current market pricing • Notes on assumptions, exclusions, and risk allowances • A summary sheet highlighting total projected spend and cost drivers Use whichever estimating tools you prefer (PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, Excel, CostX, etc.) as long as the final spreadsheets are editable and formulas remain intact. Accuracy and speed are both critical; please outline how quickly you can turn around a first draft and what source data you’ll need from me on day one. I’ll review the initial estimate for scope and math checks, then we’ll fine-tune if anything is missing. Once we’re aligned, I consider the job done, and you get paid.

Hi, I can prepare a complete commercial construction cost estimate with BOQ, material and labour take-offs, equipment, overhead, contingency, assumptions, and a clear editable Excel cost summary. The best solution is to first review your drawings, scope documents, specifications, site details, and any preferred rate standards. Then I’ll measure quantities, apply current market rates, prepare unit-rate breakdowns, identify cost drivers, and create a clean estimate with formulas intact for easy review and adjustment. I’m comfortable with construction estimating, BOQ preparation, material take-offs, labour costing, equipment costing, Excel-based estimates, PlanSwift/Bluebeam-style workflows, risk allowances, commercial building cost breakdowns, and assumption/exclusion notes. Deliverables will include: * Detailed Bill of Quantities * Material take-off * Labour cost estimate * Equipment and overhead cost lines * Unit rates and total costs * Contingency/risk allowance * Summary cost sheet * Assumptions and exclusions note * Editable Excel file with formulas * First draft for review I can start with drawings, specifications, scope notes, and any preferred pricing references. I’ll focus on a clear, accurate, and defensible estimate so you can plan financing, budget, and schedule with confidence. Best regards Ankit
