Amundson Group connected a construction firm with a qualified Estimating Assistant, filling a critical support role on the estimating team within the firm's project pipeline. ## The Client's Need A construction firm operating in the United States needed to strengthen its estimating department by adding an Estimating Assistant. The team was managing a growing volume of bids and project proposals, and leadership recognized that without dedicated support, senior estimators were stretched thin — creating risk of errors, missed deadlines, and lost opportunities. ## Amundson Group's Search Process Leveraging a network of 90,000+ construction professionals, Amundson Group moved quickly to identify candidates with the right combination of technical aptitude, familiarity with construction cost data, and the organizational skills required to support a high-output estimating function. The team screened for candidates who demonstrated hands-on exposure to quantity takeoffs, bid documentation, and subcontractor coordination — prioritizing those who could contribute from day one without requiring extensive onboarding investment. Amundson Group's process is built for speed and precision. From job intake to first qualified resume averages just 7 hours, and this search was no exception — shortlisting happened rapidly, allowing the client to move through interviews without unnecessary delay. ## Outcome at 90+ Days More than 90 days into the role, the placed professional has had ample time to acclimate to the firm's workflows, tools, and team culture. Key observations at this stage include: - **Integration into the estimating workflow:** The hire is actively supporting bid preparation and document management, reducing the burden on senior staff. - **Cultural fit:** The placed professional has built working relationships across the estimating and preconstruction team. - **Sustained contribution:** With the initial learning curve behind them, the hire is contributing consistently to the team's output. This placement reflects Amundson Group's ability to serve construction firms of varying sizes and specializations — delivering professionals who bring real value beyond the first few weeks on the job. ## About Amundson Group Amundson Group is a Houston-headquartered, veteran-owned construction recruiting firm and 2024–2025 Inc. 5000 honoree.
