Build comprehensive material databases with regional cost adjustments
Test platform accuracy against real-world construction costs
Design estimation workflows that integrate with architectural design processes
Ensure cost models reflect current market conditions and industry best practices

3-5+ years of hands-on construction cost estimating experience
Proven track record across multiple project types
Deep understanding of construction materials, labor costs, and assembly methods
Experience with quantity takeoffs and estimation software
Genuinely excited about using technology to solve industry problems
Comfortable with rapid iteration and beta software testing
Self-motivated with strong problem-solving skills
Entrepreneurial mindset with high tolerance for ambiguity
Experience with digital construction tools or BIM software (preferred)
What We Offer
Competitive hourly rate with potential equity participation
