This role requires expertise in Division 08, including hollow metal and wood doors, welded/knock-down frames, and mechanical/electrified hardware. The Estimator will analyze plans, specs, addenda, door schedules, hardware sets, and bid documents; perform detailed takeoffs; solicit vendor pricing; and produce clear proposals that meet scope, schedule, and compliance requirements.

Cost Data: Maintain historical pricing, lead times, and win/loss data to improve accuracy and competitiveness.
Relationships: Cultivate supplier/manufacturer partnerships to improve pricing, availability, and technical support (e.g., Forte Architectural, Steelcraft/CECO/Curries; ASSA ABLOY/Allegion lines such as Schlage, Sargent, Yale, Von Duprin, LCN, Hager).
Site/Pre-Bid: Attend pre-bid meetings and occasional site walks; note existing conditions impacting scope.
Continuous Improvement: Refine estimating methods, templates, and checklists for consistency and efficiency.
Communicate with clients, general contractors, and engineers to clarify project scope and specifications when necessary.
Attend pre-bid meetings and site visits to assess job conditions and potential challenges.
Continuously refine estimation methods to improve accuracy, efficiency, and consistency.
Maintain a detailed database of past project estimates, vendor pricing, and bid outcomes for future reference.

Demonstrated expertise in commercial doors/frames/hardware estimating (Division 08).
