We are currently recruiting for a Construction Cost Estimator to join our London and East construction business in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. This is an exciting opportunity to work with a successful team that has delivered numerous projects across multiple sectors within north London, the northern home counties, and East Anglia.

As a Construction Cost Estimator, you will play a crucial role in calculating the build cost for our customers, ensuring we deliver the right net cost, on time, and to the highest quality for cost accuracy. You will collaborate with our wider preconstruction team and supply chain partners to ensure that we provide an accurate cost in line with the customer's requirements, project scope, and current legislation.

In this role, some of the key duties and responsibilities will include:

• Ensuring that all costs on the project are in accordance with the project scope, the customer's requirements, and current legislation.

• Collaborating with the wider preconstruction team to secure and convert tender projects.

• Creating robust and accurate cost plans through the various design gateways up to target price.

• Guiding the design team and informing the customer with respect to affordability.

• Utilizing technical experience to identify opportunities and risks along with solutions to add value.

• Collaborating with the project team to identify and value alternative design solutions where required and presenting to the customer for review.

• Supporting the design discipline by costing change control items as identified and tracking through the RIBA Stages.

• Completing or managing project take-offs to the required level of detail (SMM7/NRM2/building quants).

• Providing a complete and robust cost information pack during the substantiation process to the commercial build team at handover, to include completed comparisons, bills of quantities, tender book, and quotations.

• Leading the procurement schedule and building supply chain interaction and relationships.

• Reviewing the performance of supply chain partners with the operations team.

• Collaborating with our operations team throughout the preconstruction process to ensure logistics, programmes, and onsite activities and buildability are accounted for in our cost.

• Collaborating with the design lead to capture and include design fees in the tender summary book (consultants, statutory authorities, surveys, schedules, and the like).

• Assisting in the change control process, identifying design changes between RIBA stages, advising on the impact of the change and approximate cost.

• Conducting cost assessments on alternative design solutions to inform the final design and project/customer budget.

This role requires a strong understanding of construction cost management principles, excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to work effectively in a team environment. If you have a keen eye for detail, a passion for construction, and a desire to work with a successful company, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
