A building estimator is a professional who is responsible for estimating the cost of construction projects. They analyze the construction plans and documents and calculate the estimated cost of materials, labor, equipment, and other associated expenses. Building estimators use their expertise to create accurate cost estimates for construction companies, architects, and owners to help them determine project budgets, schedules, and timelines. They must also stay up to date with changes in the construction industry, including new building codes, materials, and labor costs, to provide the most accurate estimates.
