• Establish the pre‑construction budget and manage the associated funds.
• Ensure the best bids are obtained for each trade, based on the needs of the project.

  Education, Commercial, Corporate Interiors, Life Sciences, Hospitality, Retail, and Sports Venues.

• Knowledge of contract types and deal structures.
• Solid conceptual estimating experience.
• Must reside in Greater Los Angeles or Orange County and be flexible with required business travel.
