Residential Construction Estimator

An established building materials supplier is seeking a Residential Estimator to help turn construction plans into accurate material takeoffs and project quotes. Working closely with sales representatives, vendors, and other project contacts, you will support residential construction proposals of varying sizes and complexity.

This opportunity is suited to someone who enjoys detailed work, understands residential building methods, and is comfortable learning new estimating and product-selection systems. Training will be tailored to your experience.

• Review residential drawings and project documents to identify material requirements and prepare detailed takeoffs.

• Develop estimates and material lists that support contractor proposals and the internal sales team.

• Identify discrepancies, missing information, and potential errors before quotes are finalized.

• Coordinate with sales representatives, subcontractors, vendors, and management to clarify project details.

• Prepare window and door quotes using product-specific software and supplier platforms.

• Manage multiple assignments while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines.

• Learn internal estimating, quoting, and point-of-sale systems.

• Participate in regular progress discussions with department leadership and contribute to process improvements.

• Familiarity with residential construction, building materials, and reading construction plans is desirable.

• Strong mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent attention to detail, organization, and time management.

• Clear communication skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively.

• Willingness to learn, take ownership of assignments, and respond constructively to feedback.

• Experience with estimating software, CAD, PlanSwift, or window and door quoting platforms is helpful but not required.

The onboarding process includes instruction in internal systems, quoting tools, and department procedures. The training period will depend on your existing knowledge and the skills needed to assume the full responsibilities of the position.

• Medical coverage options.

• Traditional and Roth 401(k) options with an employer contribution.

• Flexible spending and dependent care accounts.

• Paid holidays and paid time off.
