Hire the Best Building Estimators in California

30+ years in commercial construction, including 15 years as a superintendent managing projects from preconstruction through execution. I help contractors produce accurate, buildable estimates that hold up in the field — not just spreadsheets of numbers. Many of my recent projects involve electrical takeoffs and bid support, including: • lighting and device counts • panelboards and distribution equipment • feeders and branch circuits • electrical equipment connections CORE ESTIMATING SERVICES • Electrical takeoffs (commercial projects) • Quantity takeoffs (architectural / structural) • Bluebeam plan takeoffs (color-coded, organized) • Bid leveling and scope comparison • Microsoft Project CPM scheduling • Procore workflow alignment FIELD-DRIVEN ESTIMATING With 30+ years in construction leadership, my estimates account for real execution conditions, including: • trade coordination and sequencing • retrofit and tie-in conditions • hidden scope gaps in drawings and specs • constructability constraints • code-driven requirements and special inspections DELIVERABLES • Bluebeam markups with highlighted takeoffs • Excel quantity takeoffs (CSI organized) • scope clarifications and assumptions • optional CPM schedules If you need a bid that holds up in the field — not just on paper — I can help.

As a licensed California General Contractor, with 18 years of hands-on construction experience I know the kind of project support builders and tradesmen need. As a consultant I work in areas in which I have full experience and knowledge. ESTIMATING: • Quantity Take-off • Fixed Price Estimates • Conceptual Project Budgets • Construction Bid Packages • Residential Upgrade • “Green Construction” Upgrade • Estimate Reviews • Product Research and Analysis For PROJECT MANAGEMENT: • Setup and Initiate Software Management for Small Builders • Labor and Material Costs Turned into Custom Estimating Libraries. • Project Review and Efficiency Analysis • Subcontracting Sourcing and Vetting • Project Coordination (Scheduling, Change Order Processing, Client/Architect/Builder Communication) • Permit Submission CONSULTING • Project Development and Viability • Building Code Compliance • LEED or other Zero Energy Certifications • Energy Efficiency Solutions I use StackCt for takeoff and estimating, with files available in editable Excel sheets. I am familiar with various project management platforms and software, and try to support all jobs within their existing software and communication networks. I can offer drawing PDFs with notes and color-coding for specific trades as part of the estimate. I continue to look ways to improve knowledge of materials, procedure, project assessment, and other ways to ensure the best possible construction support service. I highly value presentation, accuracy, and ongoing project support.

I provide fast and reliable quantity takeoff and construction estimation services for builders, contractors, and developers. I specialize in: - Quantity takeoffs from PDF drawings - Material takeoff for multiple trades (framing, drywall, finishes, electrical, signage, etc.) - Trade-based quantity breakdowns - Preliminary cost estimation when needed My workflow is designed to deliver accurate results with quick turnaround, typically within 24–48 hours depending on project size. Experienced in U.S. residential and commercial construction estimating, with a strong understanding of standard project structures and material takeoffs for ADA signage, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, and renovation work. Whether you need a fast takeoff for bidding or detailed material quantities, I can help streamline your estimating process and support you in winning more bids. Feel free to reach out with your drawings or project details.

I specialize in construction schedule development and auditing for high stakes projects. My extensive project lifecycle expertise and advanced CPM scheduling skills, combined with specialized knowledge of Earned Value Management (EVM), ensure meticulous schedule development and execution success. I transform the schedule into a high-performance management tool, providing the technical oversight necessary to protect the critical path and mitigate risk from pre-construction through closeout. Core Competencies Quality Schedule Development: Building robust, CPM-compliant baselines that accurately reflect field operations and executable sequences. Intensive Schedule Auditing: Performing deep-dive logic diagnostics to identify "dangling logic," hidden constraints, and artificial float. Delay Risk & Forensic Analysis: Expertise in Time Impact Analysis (TIA) and forensic auditing to quantify impacts and defend or mitigate claims. Owner’s Rep & GC Support: Providing a 360-degree perspective on project health, ensuring the schedule serves as a reliable "Single Source of Truth" for all stakeholders. Performance Tracking: Integrating Earned Value Management (EVM) to monitor project health, cost-to-schedule variance, and production rates. Software: Oracle Primavera P6 Power User , MS Project Expert, Google Sheets, Excel Methodologies: CPM (Critical Path Method), TIA (Time Impact Analysis), Windows Analysis. Professional Skills include: Project Controls Analysis and Management RFP, Baseline and CPM Schedule Development, Management & Review, Pull Planning Risk and Delay Analysis, Time Impact Analysis Earned Value Management & Forecasting Pre-Construction Planning, Bid Proposal Preparation Estimating & Buyout, Budget Development, Sub-Contract & Purchase Order Preparation & Execution Field & Project Engineering, MEP Coordination, Manpower Management, Subcontractor/Crew Supervision Project Cost Control, Cost Projections, Change Order Preparation & Negotiation Materials & Equipment Procurement & Management, Project Closeout & Warranty Management Education and Accreditations include: B.S. Civil Engineering - CSU, Sacramento (2008) LEED Accreditation N.A.V.F.A.C. Construction Quality Management for Contractors – US Army Corp of Engineers OSHA 30
