Get to know the team behind the estimates. Focused, detail-oriented, and always ready to problem-solve, the RockCast Estimating Team plays a key role in turning project ideas into reality. From collaborating with customers and project teams to finding smart, cost-effective solutions, they bring accuracy, experience, and a team-first mindset to every project they touch.
Behind every successful project is a team dedicated to accuracy, communication, and attention to detail, and that’s exactly what the estimating team brings to the table every day. From reviewing project plans and preparing detailed estimates to helping customers find the right products for the job, this group plays a major role in keeping projects moving smoothly from start to finish.
Led by Estimating Manager David, the team works closely with sales, operations, architects, contractors, and customers to ensure every detail is qualified, organized, and accurate from the very beginning. Their commitment to “doing it right the first time” reflects the Reading Rock standard of delivering dependable, high-quality results.
The team is very passionate about identifying value engineering opportunities, helping customers discover efficient, cost-effective solutions without sacrificing quality or design flexibility. Whether recommending machine-made products or exploring custom precast options, they focus on finding the best fit for every project.
Together, they manage the detailed process of reviewing project plans and specifications, preparing accurate takeoffs and estimates, and helping customers choose the right products for their applications. They also work closely with sales, operations, architects, and project teams to ensure communication stays clear and projects stay on track.
Outside the office, all five team members are dedicated family men who enjoy spending time with their children and supporting them at sporting events and activities. Whether it’s cheering from the sidelines or spending weekends with family, they value the balance between hard work and quality time at home.
