Dirt and Utility Cost Estimation Project

I need a seasoned estimator to develop a complete cost breakdown for the underground utilities on my upcoming site—limited strictly to the potable water supply and storm-water drainage systems. I’ll supply the plan set, CAD files, and specs; you’ll turn them into precise quantity take-offs, realistic unit rates, and a ready-to-use budget I can hand straight to procurement. Accuracy and clear traceability are essential. Every line item must reference the drawing sheet and note key assumptions or risks. Deliverables should arrive as an unlocked Excel workbook accompanied by marked-up plans that show how the numbers were derived. Include a detailed project proposal with your bid. Walk me through the software you intend to use (Agtek, Trimble Business Center, HCSS HeavyBid, Excel, or similar), your cross-check process, and how many revisions you build in. Generic portfolios won’t cut it—the proposal itself needs to demonstrate your grasp of utility estimating for water and stormwater works. I’ll shortlist based on methodology, clarity, and demonstrated experience in this specific scope, then move quickly to award.
