• Analysing construction methods, materials, programme requirements and procurement routes when preparing estimates.
• Obtaining, analysing and comparing quotations from specialist subcontractors and suppliers.
• Identifying scope gaps, commercial risks, exclusions, assumptions and pricing opportunities within tender information.
• Preparing pricing breakdowns, tender summaries, clarifications and supporting documentation.
• Supporting value engineering and cost optimisation while protecting design intent and quality.
• Liaising with clients, designers, consultants and the supply chain to resolve pricing and tender queries.
• Participating in pre-tender meetings, site visits, design reviews and tender clarification meetings where required.
• Maintaining knowledge of market rates, materials, labour and specialist trades.
• Supporting tender reviews, cost planning and commercial analysis.
• Maintaining accurate estimating records, cost information and benchmarking data.
• Supporting the effective handover of successful tenders from pre-construction into project delivery.
