We are RCB Design & Build – a London-based A2Z Principal Contractor delivering extensions, loft conversions, full refurbishments, kitchens and bathrooms.
We are looking for a long-term Architect / Estimator hybrid to support our internal team (Estimator, Operations, Director).
This is NOT a basic takeoff role. We are looking for someone who understands the full construction and client process.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ROLE OVERVIEW ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
You will be involved in:
– Reviewing architectural & structural drawings – Creating clear Scope of Works (pre-estimate stage) – Producing detailed estimates using UK construction logic – Identifying missing information, risks, and overlaps – Supporting client qualification (early-stage filtering) – Structuring and presenting estimates professionally
You are part of the decision process, not just execution.
✔ UK residential construction experience (essential) ✔ Strong knowledge of: – Extensions – Loft conversions – Refurbishments
✔ Ability to read and interpret: – Architectural drawings – Structural drawings – Tender documents
✔ Understanding of: – Scope building before pricing – Provisional sums – Avoiding duplication in estimates – Realistic construction sequencing
✔ Strong written English (client-facing level)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We are NOT looking for someone who only does takeoffs.
We ARE looking for someone who can think like a contractor:
→ Identify what’s missing before pricing → Challenge unclear drawings → Understand what will affect cost on site → Structure estimates that actually convert
1. A short example of a similar project 2. Key risks / missing information you identified 3. Sample structure of a scope or estimate 4. How you would explain your estimate to a client
Applications without this will not be reviewed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WORKING STYLE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
– Fast turnaround (same / next day where needed) – Ongoing collaboration with our team – Long-term opportunity for the right candidate
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL NOTE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We are building a structured, high-level system.
If you are looking for one-off freelance tasks, this is not the right role.
