Cost Estimation:Review project specifications, designs, and landscaping plans to prepare detailed cost estimates. Estimate costs for plants, materials, labor, equipment, and other resources required for landscaping projects. Prepare comprehensive cost breakdowns that include softscape, hardscape, irrigation systems, and maintenance services.
Bid Preparation & Submission:Prepare and submit competitive bids for landscaping projects in line with client specifications. Gather and analyze pricing from suppliers, subcontractors, and vendors to ensure accurate estimates. Respond to inquiries regarding estimates and provide clarifications where necessary.

Incorporate any design changes, scope modifications, or updates into the final estimates and adjust project budgets accordingly.
Project Monitoring & Cost Control:Monitor the costs during the project execution to ensure the project stays within the approved budget. Identify cost overruns or discrepancies and propose corrective measures to control costs.
Reporting:Prepare detailed reports and documentation for management, clients, and stakeholders outlining the estimates, revisions, and any changes to the budget. Provide updates on the status of bids and project budgets as required.
Site Visits & Data Collection:Conduct site visits as necessary to evaluate the conditions and requirements for the landscaping projects. Collect relevant data from the site to accurately reflect the costs for materials, labor, and equipment needed.
