About the Role

Schramm’s Woodcraft is seeking an experienced Millwork Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive estimates for commercial cabinetry and architectural millwork projects.

We’re looking for someone who understands how millwork is built and installed, reviews drawings and specifications carefully, and takes ownership of producing complete, well-supported bids.

Responsibilities

- Prepare detailed quantity takeoffs and estimates covering materials, hardware, finishing, shop labour, installation, freight, and subcontracted work.
- Identify scope gaps, conflicting details, unusual requirements, and potential cost or schedule risks; prepare clarification requests as needed.
- Obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations for pricing, completeness, availability, and lead times.
- Assess fabrication methods and installation requirements with the production team to ensure labour allowances reflect the work involved.
- Prepare clear proposals outlining scope, inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, and pricing alternatives.
- Track tender deadlines, revisions, and addenda to ensure bids are complete and submitted on time.
- Review pricing and scope changes during tender negotiations and prepare estimates for change requests.
- Provide organized estimate handoffs for awarded projects, including budgets, quantities, supplier quotations, and outstanding clarifications.
- Compare estimated costs with actual project results and help improve estimating accuracy, pricing information, and processes.
- Support estimating staff as required.
