I am an experienced Construction Estimator (PlanSwift, On-Screen Takeoff, BlueBeam, Cubit, Kubla Cubed...), and Virtual Assistant (Roofing, Construction Management e.tc). I have 8 years of experience in the construction sector. I LOVE working in the construction sector and helping businesses and individuals with their specific needs. My goal is to always deliver the best regardless of your location. So, here's what I can do for you: ✔Construction Estimating/Takeoff: I can provide accurate quantity takeoffs and cost estimates for a variety of construction projects, including steel, concrete, timber, and paint. Using Bluebeam and PlanSwift software, I deliver precise estimates that support efficient budget management. My concrete takeoff services cover total volume calculations for all suspended slabs, slabs on grade, cast-in-place walls, concrete columns, pad footings, rafts, and more. I also provide detailed measurements of total contact footage for all concrete formwork, with Bluebeam/PlanSwift takeoffs and Excel spreadsheets summarizing each element. I am experienced in estimating aluminum storefront frames, aluminum doors, glass, hollow metal doors, and paint. Additionally, I can provide precise square footage calculations needed for wall coverings, such as wallpaper. ⏰I am available to provide at least 40 hours of work per week, ensuring reliable, detailed, and well-structured estimates to help clients manage costs and make informed decisions for successful project outcomes. 🛠 My turnaround times are fast, and I maintain a high level of quality and attention to detail. I also offer flexible pricing to fit your budget. 💻Virtual Assistant for Construction Business Support I can support your construction business as a skilled Virtual Assistant by managing permits, creating accurate estimates, and assisting with project management tasks. With my experience in the construction industry and strong organizational skills, I can handle responsibilities like coordinating with contractors, tracking project timelines, and ensuring compliance with regulations. I’m proactive, detail-oriented, and passionate about helping businesses grow, which make me a great fit. 🤝Thank you for being here and reading my profile. I look forward to helping you achieve success in your project!
