Quality Assurance Estimator
20 years of electrical construction experience. The last check before your estimate is delivered.
Experience
Our QA estimator brings 20 years of electrical construction experience to every review. They spent 12 years as a project manager and estimator for a commercial electrical contractor before moving into quality assurance. This background means they review estimates with a practical understanding of what happens in the field — not just what the drawings show.
Since joining the QA team, they have reviewed over 800 estimates and have identified an average of 4-6 discrepancies per estimate during the quality control process. The most common findings: omitted scope items from addenda, incorrect labor unit selection for non-standard conditions, and material pricing that did not reflect current supplier quotes.
