A mission-driven construction and development organization is seeking a Sr. Construction Cost Estimator in Southern California, offering the opportunity to support large-scale multifamily and affordable housing projects.

  • Experience estimating multifamily and affordable housing projects, including Type III/V and Type I podium construction.
  • Develop, maintain, and refine the Historical Cost Model while maintaining current pricing records for labor and materials.
  • Prepare conceptual, schematic design, design development, and construction document estimates with accurate quantity take-offs.
  • Manage the pre-development budget and cost estimating process while coordinating with acquisitions, development, construction, project management, and design teams.
  • Compile estimates from conceptual drawings using take-offs and historical cost models, with strong field experience preferred.
  • Proficiency with Bluebeam, Excel, Procore Financials, Microsoft Office, Smartsheet, and project scheduling tools.
  • Review plans, specifications, reports, and studies to identify omissions, validate accuracy, evaluate cost impacts, and support project timelines.
