Construction Cost Planner (m/f/d)

Role:

On behalf of a client, we are looking for a specialist as a Construction Cost Planner / Junior Construction Cost Planner for structural engineering for the economic planning and calculation of demanding construction projects in an established Swiss company in the construction and real estate sector. You will take on tasks in cost estimation, construction cost planning, general contractor/total contractor calculation, and cost optimisation, and accompany projects from early development through architectural competitions to the tender phase. The focus is on determining and analysing construction costs according to BKP and eBKP-H, preparing quantities, and economically evaluating project variants. The position is suitable both for experienced construction cost planners and for specialists from architecture, site management, or structural planning who wish to specialise specifically in construction cost planning.

Responsibilities:

• Construction cost planning structural engineering: Independent creation and processing of cost estimates, cost calculations, and detailed construction cost planning for new build and renovation projects.

• Quantity and measurement determination: Determining component quantities, areas, volumes, and measurements based on architectural plans, digital building models, and project documents.

• Cost structure according to BKP and eBKP-H: Structuring and evaluation of construction costs according to the construction cost plan BKP and element-based construction cost plan structural engineering eBKP-H.

• General contractor and total contractor calculation: Preparation and review of tender calculations, cost bases, and price determinations for general and total contractor projects.

• Cost monitoring of architectural competitions: Economic assessment of competition projects, design variants, and feasibility studies based on cost indicators and project parameters.

• Cost analyses and profitability comparisons: Conducting cost comparisons, key figure analyses, plausibility checks, and profitability assessments.

• Cost optimisation and value engineering: Development of economic alternatives, constructive optimisations, and savings potentials considering architectural and technical requirements.

• Project development and feasibility studies: Supporting internal project teams with investment cost estimates, potential analyses, and financial evaluation of real estate developments.

• Tender and offer documentation: Participation in the preparation and review of specifications, bills of quantities, contractor offers, and calculation documents.

• Cost indicators and data management: Maintenance and further development of cost indicators, experience databases, comparison projects, and calculation bases.

• Interdisciplinary project coordination: Collaboration with architects, site managers, project developers, specialist planners, and calculation managers to coordinate project costs.

• Cost controlling and reporting: Preparation of cost overviews, variance analyses, budget comparisons, and decision-making bases for project and management.

Qualifications:

• Completed training in structural engineering, for example as a draughtsperson EFZ specialising in architecture, certified technician HF construction planning, architect FH/ETH, or site manager, or comparable construction-technical qualification.

• Professional experience in construction cost planning, calculation, architectural planning, or site management; also suitable for specialists with solid structural engineering experience who want to enter cost planning.

• Knowledge of Swiss construction cost structures BKP and eBKP-H as well as SIA phases and basic calculation methods or willingness for corresponding professional deepening.

• Experience in measurement, quantity determination, cost estimation, cost calculation, or tendering of structural engineering projects.

• Good understanding of building constructions, materials, execution processes, and economic contexts in structural engineering.

• Confident handling of Microsoft Excel and digital plan documents; knowledge of construction cost planning and calculation software is an advantage.

• Very good German language skills in spoken and written form for cost documentation, technical coordination, and collaboration with internal and external project participants.

• Attractive training and development opportunities
• Interesting and varied tasks/projects
• Well-coordinated and dynamic team
• Market- and performance-based salaries
