I have more than five years of commercial construction estimating experience, a B.S. in Construction Management, and a strong connection to the Indianapolis construction market through my current role and prior positions here. I am drawn to this opportunity to lead reliable, competitive estimates that support sound bid decisions and project profitability . In my current role as Estimating Manager at Cedar Peak Construction, I direct scope reviews , takeoffs, trade coverage, and cost validation for commercial pursuits. I review labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor costs in Sage Estimating , document assumptions, and flag scope exposure before proposals reach clients. I also lead bid strategy discussions with project managers and engineers, negotiate pricing and terms with suppliers and subcontractors, and present estimate drivers and exclusions to clients and internal teams. My earlier estimating work strengthened the plan review and bid coordination skills this role calls for. At Red Oak Construction Group, I identified drawing conflicts and incomplete Basis of Design details during pre-bid reviews and coordinated clarifications to reduce late-stage pricing uncertainty. I have used CSI divisions and MasterFormat to organize bid documents, and my hands-on tools include Bluebeam, Sage Estimating, iSqFt, On-Screen Takeoff , and AutoCAD. My experience includes commercial renovations and new builds, and I am prepared to work non-traditional hours when bid schedules require it. Northline’s focus on dependable estimates, clear client communication, and practical bid decisions fits the work I have built my career around. I would value the opportunity to contribute my estimating leadership and commercial construction experience to your team. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to discussing how my experience can support Northline Building Partners’ estimating work. Sincerely, Click to edit Draw your signature below Clear Generate Signature Save X Matias Cruz
