Description

The Estimator provides dedicated estimating and order-processing support for McSwain's residential builder accounts (Production and Custom builders).

• Write up and process builder quotes and orders (product selections, pricing, quantities, and specifications) in McSwain's Net Suite system, ensuring accuracy before release to production/installation.
• Serve as a shared estimating and order-support resource across multiple builder accounts and sales representatives, providing consistent coverage regardless of any one rep's schedule or availability.
• Coordinate with sales representatives to confirm scope changes, buyer selections, plan revisions, and schedule updates before finalizing orders.
• Set up templates and standard takeoffs for recurring house plans to speed up estimating on repeat floor plans within a community.
• Identify and flag pricing, product, or spec discrepancies before an order is finalized, working with sales and purchasing to resolve them.
