Lead - Estimation

• Prepare detailed cost estimates for Data Centre construction projects with focus on MEP packages.


• Review drawings, technical specifications, BOQs, tender documents, and design inputs for estimation.


• Develop item-wise and package-wise estimates for Electrical / Mechanical / HVAC / Fire Fighting / Plumbing / ELV / BMS systems.


• Conduct quantity take-offs from drawings and validate quantities for tendering and budgeting.


• Prepare concept estimates, detailed estimates, and pre-bid cost plans based on project stage.


• Analyze scope gaps, exclusions, assumptions, and risks in the tender/estimation phase.

• Support preparation of techno-commercial proposals for new projects.


• Coordinate with internal stakeholders for RFQ floating, vendor queries, cost inputs, and bid clarifications.


• Compare vendor/subcontractor quotations and prepare comparative statements.


• Assist in finalization of cost benchmarks, pricing strategy, and bid submissions.


• Identify commercial risks and provide inputs during tender review meetings.

• Review design inputs related to Electrical systems (HT/LT, DG, UPS, transformers, bus ducts, cable trays, lighting, earthing) and Mechanical systems (HVAC, chillers, CRAH/CRAC, piping, ventilation, firefighting, plumbing).


• Assess project requirements in line with Data Centre standards, redundancy philosophy, uptime expectations, and constructability.


• Work closely with design/engineering teams to ensure estimation aligns with project specifications and execution realities.

• Liaise with OEMs, vendors, subcontractors, and suppliers for budgetary quotes and technical-commercial inputs.


• Maintain updated database of rates, cost benchmarks, approved vendors, and historical project costs.


• Track market trends in key materials/equipment such as UPS, DG, transformers, switchgear, chillers, pipes, ducts, fire systems, ELV and BMS components.

• Identify opportunities for cost optimization and value engineering without compromising project quality, reliability, or compliance.


• Suggest alternate materials, systems, and execution methodologies where feasible.


• Support leadership in preparation of budget vs estimate analysis and savings opportunities.

• Coordinate with Projects, Design, Procurement, Contracts, Finance, and Commercial teams during estimation and bid stages.


• Provide estimation support for change orders, variation claims, and budget revisions.


• Participate in internal reviews for project feasibility and capex planning.
