‘A Construction Estimator plays a crucial role in assessing the costs associated with materials, labour and other expenses in home building,’ says Production Estimator Kadeen Power.

Throughout the estimation process, these Estimators utilise various tools and techniques to ensure precise cost evaluations. ‘This information is vital for construction companies as it aids in generating project quotes, negotiating contracts, and establishing the overall budget,’ Kadeen explains.

‘You will collaborate closely with draftsmen, architects, engineers, suppliers, contractors, clients, and construction managers to grasp the unique requirements and specifics of each project,’ she adds. ‘Additionally, you will review drawings, specifications, and local regulations through building approvals to identify the necessary materials and labour for successful project completion.’

‘What I enjoy most about being a Construction Estimator is the diverse range of projects I get to work on,’ Kadeen states. ‘I appreciate the opportunity to examine all the requirements and specifications chosen by the client, as well as those mandated by local regulations.’

Kadeen’s goal is to ensure everything is accurately provided, facilitating a smooth building process for both the client and the construction team on-site.

‘I've always had a passion for the building industry,’ Kadeen says. ‘It's truly amazing to see how a fully functional home can come to life from just an idea, a budget, and a set of plans. Each project I participate in never fails to impress me. I also enjoy being part of a team that collaborates effectively and intelligently to achieve the best results.’
