Spain Construction
, now operating as Sunday Building Co. marks the next chapter of a family-owned residential renovation company with more than 30 years of experience in Charlotte. We specialize in luxury kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and whole-home renovations, helping homeowners turn ambitious ideas into thoughtfully designed and beautifully constructed spaces. Our new name reflects where we are going, while our commitment to craftsmanship, honest communication, and lasting client relationships remains unchanged.

We are looking for an experienced residential remodeling estimator and project consultant who can combine technical estimating expertise with strong homeowner communication and relationship-building skills. This position goes beyond producing numbers behind a desk.

Over time, you will also help guide qualified homeowners through proposals and signed construction agreements.

• Explain project scope and pricing to homeowners in a clear, consultative, and professional manner.
• Support proposal presentations and help qualified homeowners move toward signed agreements.
• Ensure projects are properly priced and positioned for healthy production margins.
• Maintain accurate estimating, lead, and project information within Buildertrend or a comparable platform.
• Coordinate an organized handoff of sold projects to the production team.
• Develop positive relationships with homeowners, architects, designers, real estate professionals, subcontractors, and suppliers.
• Participate in ongoing improvements to estimating templates, pricing systems, and the company's preconstruction process.
