Client Details

If you're an estimator who understands interiors and carpentry and you're tired of low ceilings, disorganized bids, or grinding out numbers with no say - this role is built for you.

We're a busy, well-established interiors and carpentry subcontractor with a strong backlog across NYC and North Jersey. Our work includes commercial interiors, high-end fit-outs, and detailed carpentry scopes.

Estimators bid on a high volume of projects weekly and are set to do about $150M in revenue this year and have a back log of $100M for 2027. If you are interested in joining a robust team with a high employee retention rate, please do not hesitate to apply.
