Blueprint Analysis: Interpret complex structural and architectural drawings to identify potential design conflicts or cost-saving opportunities (value engineering).
Efficiency Management: Maintain and update complex spreadsheets to ensure budget accuracy and operational efficiency as project scopes evolve.

Excel Mastery: Exceptional expertise in Microsoft Excel is mandatory. You should be comfortable navigating and building complex formulas and data-heavy spreadsheets.
Technical Proficiency: Prior experience with takeoff software such as Bluebeam or PlanSwift is highly preferred.
Analytical Mindset: A persistent self-starter who digs into the details to ensure no cost is overlooked.
Independent Learner: Ability to quickly master internal processes and tools with minimal formal training. You should be someone who enjoys troubleshooting and finding answers independently.
