Collaborate closely with Project Managers, Engineers, Procurement, and Construction teams to ensure all cost inputs align with project execution plans. Develop and maintain unit cost databases, historical benchmarks, and productivity metrics for continuous improvement. Evaluate and compare design alternatives, construction methodologies, and material selections to optimize value and reduce costs. Support pre-construction activities, including conceptual estimating, risk assessments, and cost modeling for feasibility studies. Prepare comprehensive bid packages and proposals, ensuring competitive and compliant submissions. Participate in scope reviews, value engineering sessions, and subcontractor negotiations. Provide cost control insights and forecasting support throughout project execution. Ensure all estimating documentation, version control, and pricing methodologies comply with DEC's standards and best practices.
