Estimator

About Benchmark Construction Technology

Benchmark (formerly BotBuilt, Y Combinator W21) is building the next generation of technology behind American homebuilding. We’re starting with one of the hardest parts of the stack: reliably turning messy, real-world construction plans into structured, usable data.

Our systems translate architectural drawings into detailed digital representations of homes — including framing systems, materials, and structural components — that can drive downstream automation, analysis, and construction workflows.

About the role
We are seeking a detail-oriented Construction Estimator to join our AI-powered estimating business. This role involves using advanced AI tools (proprietary to the company) to generate precise material take-offs from building plans.

What you'll do

• Read, interpret, and understand Structural blue-prints and US building codes
• Oversee all estimating outputs, including ownership of calculations, accuracy, and quality assurance.
• Train offshore team members and develop training materials, processes, and systems.
• Review complex or unusual plans and resolve technical issues escalated by the estimating team.
• Identify opportunities to improve estimating processes, workflows, and quality standards.
• Provide technical input to product development, including estimating workflows, material takeoffs, wall designs, and truss designs.
• Respond to customer questions and resolve technical issues related to estimates and outputs.

Qualifications

• 10 Years plus experience in estimating for Framing, siding and Dry wall
• Experience with both multi family and single family projects
• Deep understanding of how truss quotes are done. 
• Willing to teach and help build a good product

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive benefits (health, dental, vision)
• Professional development budget (courses, conferences, research exploration)
