We asked construction estimators about locations they would prefer to relocate for an estimating opportunity. Here’s what they say.

Nashville, Tennessee, is the most sought-after location for a construction estimator job, according to a poll carried out by Niche SSP.

Niche SSP, a hiring partner in the construction industry, asked 1,307 construction estimators to tell “which location would you prefer if you were to relocate for an estimating opportunity”. 

During the poll, they were asked to pick the best city — out of Charlotte, Miami, Dallas, and Nashville — for a construction estimator job. 

The poll results show that 31 percent of the construction estimators chose Nashville as their preferred destination for a construction estimator job.

According to the construction estimator salary poll, a senior estimator’s salary in Nashville falls between $105,000-$144,000, a commercial estimator’s salary between $80,000-$100,000, and a junior estimator’s salary between $70,000-$80,000. 

The second best city for a construction estimator job was identified as Charlotte, North Carolina, by 26 percent of the surveyed estimators. 

The construction estimator salary poll shows a senior estimator’s salary in Charlotte ranges between $107,000-$142,000, and a commercial estimator’s salary falls between $72,000-93,000.
