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.
