Project Assessment: Review project plans, architectural drawings, and specifications to understand the scope of work for fit-out turnkey projects and joinery installations. Conduct site visits and assessments to gather essential information such as measurements, material requirements, and project constraints.
Cost Estimation: Analyze project requirements to determine the quantity and specifications of materials, labor, and equipment needed for fit-out and joinery works. Prepare accurate cost estimates for various project components, including but not limited to structural works, MEP installations, finishes, and joinery items. Utilize estimating software, databases, and historical cost data to ensure the accuracy and competitiveness of estimates.
Supplier and Subcontractor Coordination: Liaise with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain quotations for materials, equipment, and specialized services required for fit-out and joinery projects. Evaluate vendor proposals, negotiate pricing, and assess the quality and availability of materials to optimize project costs and schedules.
Bid Preparation: Prepare comprehensive bid documents, including detailed cost breakdowns, schedules, and technical specifications, for submission to clients and stakeholders .Collaborate with the business development team to ensure that bid proposals are tailored to meet client requirements and align with company objectives.
Risk Analysis and Value Engineering: Identify potential risks, challenges, and opportunities for value engineering within fit-out and joinery projects. Conduct cost-benefit analysis and propose alternative solutions or materials to optimize project outcomes while maintaining quality standards and budget constraints.
Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate records of estimation data, assumptions, and correspondence for audit and reference purposes. Generate reports, presentations, and documentation to communicate estimation findings, project status, and recommendations to stakeholders.
Continuous Improvement: Stay updated on industry trends, market conditions, and technological advancements related to fit-out and joinery construction. Continuously refine estimation processes, tools, and workflows to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and competitiveness. Provide feedback and suggestions for process improvements and best practices to support the overall growth and success of the estimation department.
