About Us

SFV Services is a family of commercial construction and facilities management solutions that provides an all-in-one resource to our retail, franchise, and hospitality clients nationwide. We are a cost-effective partner for every stage of growth by eliminating the need for clients to work with multiple General Contractors, reducing project overhead, cost overruns, and delays.

Since our founding in 2006, we have completed over 1,000 projects with top retail and hospitality companies across the United States, providing them with everything from Site Selection and Evaluation Services, Design and Architectural Plans, all aspects of Construction Management, and aftercare through our Facilities Management.

The Estimator Role

Accurate and comprehensive construction estimates are the foundation of any successful project. They set the baseline for scope, budget, schedule, and risk, guiding decision-making from feasibility through design to completion. A precise estimate helps secure funding, aligns expectations with clients and Ownership, and provides a framework for monitoring performance and controlling costs as the project evolves. Without a solid estimate, projects are prone to scope creep, budget overruns, and missed deadlines.

  • Define commercial project scope and understand client requirements
  • Read and interpret building plans and specifications
  • Perform quantity takeoffs and unit cost analysis from drawings, specifications, and schedules
  • Obtain and complete all project bid forms
  • Solicit, obtain, and evaluate sub-contractor proposal for accuracy and completeness
  • Track changes, maintain a living estimate, and manage cost forecasting throughout the project
  • Perform site visits as necessary
  • Interact with clients and design professionals to clarify the exact scope
  • Provide value engineering
  • Assist in the preparation of estimates and documentation for change orders
  • Assist in project scheduling
  • Ensure compliance with relevant standards, codes, and contractual requirements
  • Maintain accurate pricing structure – Review on a quarterly basis
  • Prepare and submit proposals to the Director of Construction/VP for approval
  • Submit and track estimate statuses with the client(s)
  • Participate in calls with Clients to clarify estimates as needed
  • Reports to Director of Construction/VP
Ideal Candidate Profile
  • 3+ years of Commercial Construction Estimation (Required)
  • Possesses a BA/BS in Construction Management, Business, Operations, or similar (not required)
