​What is an Assistant Estimator?

An assistant estimator within the construction industry is a professional responsible for producing the commercial aspects for a tender document with a view to securing new business. The job involves assessing material, labour and equipment requirements for the project and analysing different quotes from sub-contractors and suppliers.

An assistant estimator can provide prices for everything from a one-off scheme to regular maintenance projects, which will be completed over several years. An assistant estimator is concerned with assisting with getting the best price that will win the contract in a competitive bidding situation, while ensuring that the contract can be carried out profitably. Clients now award contracts based on quality of the service offered, as well as cost. So, when bidding for new work, estimating professionals look at quality, as well as the overall costs.
