Job Description - Preconstruction Estimator


At Buffalo Construction, we don’t just build restaurants, retail, and recreation spaces—we build remarkable experiences for our client partners. As a Preconstruction Estimator, you’ll play a pivotal role at the heart of every project, turning bold visions into clear, cost-conscious realities before a shovel ever hits the ground.

If you're a strategic thinker who thrives on solving puzzles, collaborating with powerhouse teams, and bringing structure to creativity, this is your calling.

What You’ll Do:

Project Feasibility

  • Use your expertise and market intel to develop conceptual and preliminary estimates with limited information.
  • Identify pricing risks and help client partners make confident, data-backed site selection decisions.
  • Set clear expectations for timelines involving zoning, design, permitting, and early due diligence.

Stakeholder Collaboration

  • Act as a trusted partner to clients, design teams, and internal departments to ensure alignment from day one.
  • Lead early planning sessions that bring scope, budget, and feasibility into perfect sync.
  • Serve as the liaison between Preconstruction, Operations, and the rest of the project team.

Market Research & Constructability

  • Keep a pulse on labor markets, material trends, and construction methods.
  • Analyze historical data, forecasts, and benchmarks to increase estimating accuracy and reduce surprises.
  • Align material selections with budget goals and flag constructability concerns early in design.

Process Improvement

  • Champion continuous improvement by refining tools, processes, and estimating techniques.
  • Collaborate across departments to build smarter systems that drive speed and precision.
  • Help develop and enhance SOPs that make us more efficient, consistent, and client-focused.

Cost Estimation

  • Build detailed, accurate cost models for a diverse range of project types and scopes.
  • Factor in soft costs, logistics, and realistic contingencies to create airtight budgets.
  • Track and improve long-term accuracy of estimates from budget to contract to completion.

What You Bring:

  • 5+ years of construction estimating or preconstruction experience
  • Strong proficiency in Procore, Excel, and estimating software
  • A keen eye for reading plans, specs, and scopes
  • Exceptional communication skills and a passion for collaboration
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or relevant experience preferred

Why Buffalo?

At Buffalo, we’re fueled by our values: Celebration, Commitment, Continuous Improvement, and Compassion. We believe in doing the right thing—even when it’s hard. You’ll be part of a team that celebrates wins, learns from challenges, and never stops raising the bar.
