Preconstruction Estimating Coordinator

Adi Development Group is one of Canada’s leading real estate development, construction management, and investment companies. With over 4,000 units and $3 billion in built value under development across the GTHA, we’re on a mission to reinvent the customer experience and deliver homes faster, better, and more cost-effectively. We champion ownership thinking, continuous improvement, and developing the leaders of tomorrow.

As Preconstruction Estimating Coordinator, you’ll play a central role in Adi’s preconstruction process for residential developments — owning cost estimates from conceptual design through tender, coordinating with design consultants and trade contractors, and providing the cost intelligence that drives our project feasibility and go/no-go decisions.

• Estimating: Prepare Class D through Class A estimates across all project stages. Perform detailed quantity take-offs, apply labour and material rates, build up indirect and direct costs, and produce complete tender submissions including overhead and profit margins.
• Trade Coordination: Solicit competitive pricing from trade contractors and suppliers, analyze and level bids, negotiate terms, and maintain the trade contractor database.
• Design Coordination: Work with architects, engineers, and consultants during design development to integrate cost considerations, identify scope gaps, and generate RFIs.
• Cost Control: Track cost estimates against project budgets and pro formas. Assess the financial impact of scope changes and support change order management.
• Value Engineering: Identify VE opportunities to reduce costs without compromising quality or schedule. Collaborate with designers on target costing.
• Risk & Contracts: Review project and contract documents (CCDC) to identify risks and opportunities. Support procurement from bid through award and contract execution.
• Permits & Approvals: Support the permit process, coordinating information flow between consultants, authorities, and municipalities.
