Detailed Estimator for Fence & Gate Projects
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
Project Title: Ongoing Estimator – Fence & Gate Takeoffs (Plan Review)
Project Overview:
We are seeking a detail-oriented Freelance Estimator for a long-term partnership. We manage multiple residential and commercial projects throughout the year and need a dedicated specialist to handle the Fence and Gate Scope for all new architectural plan sets.
Ongoing Responsibilities:
For each project assigned, you will perform a comprehensive review of architectural, site, and landscape drawings to:
Identify Scope: Locate all requirements for fence/gate installation and removal (checking General Notes, Demolition Plans, and Detail Sheets).
Exact Takeoffs: Calculate precise linear footage for all fence types and provide counts for all gates (pedestrian, vehicular, egress).
Material Specs: Identify specific materials (Steel, Wood, Chain Link, etc.), post sizes, hardware, footings, and finish requirements (e.g., specific paint codes).
Professional Deliverables: For every project, you will provide:
Annotated PDF: A marked-up site plan highlighting fence runs and gate locations with references to the specific page numbers.
Takeoff Summary: A formatted spreadsheet (Excel) itemizing all quantities and material specs.
Requirements:
Expert proficiency in reading Civil, Landscape, and Architectural blueprints.
Experience with takeoff software (Bluebeam Revu, On-Center, or similar).
High attention to detail—ability to catch "hidden" scope in general notes.
Consistent methodology and reliable turnaround times.
Work Volume & Payment:
This is an ongoing, as-needed role. Projects will be sent to you as they arrive. Please provide your standard flat rate per takeoff or your hourly rate in your proposal.
To Apply:
Please provide a brief summary of your estimating experience and a sample of a previous fence-related markup or spreadsheet.
