What does an estimator do?
Estimators are responsible for producing accurate costing forecasts and predictions for construction, infrastructure, and engineering projects. Working closely with commercial and project delivery teams, they analyse drawings, specifications, and supplier quotes to determine material, labour, and overhead costs.
Estimators contribute to tender submissions and contract negotiations, supporting business development and project feasibility. Familiarity with estimating software, contract types (NEC, JCT), and market rates is key to success in this role.
