Estimator

Every great project starts with a great estimate.

Before the first shovel hits the ground, before a project team is assembled and before construction begins, someone has already laid the foundation for success.

That's where you come in.

At Singleton Construction, our Estimators do far more than produce numbers. They help shape projects from the very beginning, identify opportunities, solve challenges and play a vital role in winning work for some of America's most recognised brands.
