On an industrial construction site, the numbers add up fast. Tons of materials, hundreds of labour hours, multiple skilled trades and substantial budgets mean every detail matters. Estimating projects of this scale takes more than the ability to read construction drawings. You need to see the entire job come together before the first shovel ever hits the ground.

From equipment installation and plant modifications to industrial maintenance and scheduled shutdowns, projects involve industrial mechanical work, boilermaking, structural steel, welding and industrial piping. You will estimate labour, materials, equipment and subcontracting requirements, then determine the work methods and execution strategies best suited to each project.
