About Us

We’re a hands‑on commercial general contractor that takes pride in doing the work ourselves. From concrete and excavation to carpentry, trim‑out, and interior finishes — we self‑perform many aspects of our projects and are proud of the quality that comes with that. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a reliable, detail‑focused Construction Estimator to join our team.

This role is perfect for someone who understands boots‑on‑the‑ground construction, knows how the work really gets done, and can turn that knowledge into accurate, competitive estimates.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Review plans, drawings, and specs to put together accurate estimates for commercial construction projects
  • Break down scopes of work for self‑performed trades like concrete, carpentry, trim, etc.
  • Gather and compare subcontractor and supplier quotes
  • Help build realistic project budgets and timelines with our project management team
  • Visit sites (when needed) to understand logistics or confirm details
  • Track changes to scope or design and update pricing accordingly
  • Find ways to keep us competitive without cutting corners
  • Keep records of pricing history and completed estimates for future reference
What We’re Looking For
  • A solid understanding of commercial construction and how things go together
  • Estimating experience (ideally 3+ years), especially in trades like concrete, carpentry, and finishes
  • Confidence in your abilities and the ability to work without direction
  • Strong attention to detail, especially with numbers and scopes
  • Able to read and interpret construction drawings and specs
  • Good communicator — comfortable talking to subs, suppliers, and the team
  • Organized and dependable
Bonus Points If You Have
  • Field experience or trade background
  • Experience with self‑performed work
  • A sense of humor and a get‑it‑done attitude
What We Offer
  • Competitive pay (based on experience)
  • 401K
  • 401K match
  • Profit sharing
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Paid holidays
