General contractors are professionals or companies responsible for overseeing and managing construction projects from start to finish. They coordinate and supervise subcontractors, source materials, handle permits, and ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.

Strong leadership and organizational skills are key to overcoming these challenges and delivering successful projects.

Strong leadership, negotiation, and communication skills help manage subcontractors, clients, and complex timelines effectively. These abilities are crucial for delivering projects safely, on time, and within budget while maintaining quality standards.

The Opportunity

Anzac Developments LLC is seeking a skilled and proactive Residential Construction Estimator to drive our residential renovation and addition projects from concept to proposal.

  • Perform accurate quantity takeoffs, cost analyses, and estimate multi-trade residential projects.
  • Solicit, coordinate, and review pricing from subcontractors across multiple trades to build precise cost models.
  • Prepare clear, professional, and accurate proposals for presentation to homeowners and prospective clients.
  • Maintain clear communication with homeowners, trade partners, and internal operations to ensure project goals align.

  • Proven experience coordinating subcontractor bids across multiple construction trades.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience

  • Combined experience in both residential estimating and project management.
  • Client-facing or sales experience with a consultative approach to homeowner discussions.

  • A supportive, team-oriented culture grounded in loyalty, respect, and craftsmanship.
  • Work within a family-focused company committed to quality across the St. Louis community.
