About Bliss Gardens

Bliss Gardens (Ecoflash Initiative and Sustainable Solutions Pvt. Ltd.) is a premium landscape design and contracting company working across Kerala, South India and the UAE. For over 14 years we have designed, built and maintained landscapes for wellness resorts, hospitals, industries, hotels and private residences.

Our work covers softscape, hardscape, irrigation, water features and long-term garden care. We are growing our estimation team and want someone who prices with precision and builds systems that last.

The role

You will be the person who turns drawings, BOQs and site visits into accurate, winning quotations. Every project we sign starts on your desk. You will price everything from a single site visit to multi-crore landscape projects, keep our rate library current, and make sure what we quote is what we can build profitably.

Location: Kozhikode (Calicut), Kerala. On-site, with travel to project sites across South India.

What you will do

Estimation and BOQ

- Prepare detailed BOQs from landscape, civil and irrigation drawings (AutoCAD/PDF) when one is not provided
- Price BOQs issued by architects and consultants, and propose equal or better alternatives where available
- Build rate analysis for every item: material, labour, supervision, logistics, overheads and margin
- Estimate hardscape, civil works, softscape and planting, irrigation and automation, water bodies, pumps and fabrication
- Prepare quotations for site visits, surveys, landscape design, consultation and Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC)
- Handle tender documents: read specifications, raise pre-bid queries, and submit priced BOQs on time

Quotations and clients

- Turn approved estimates into explicit quotations with scope, specifications, terms, payment terms and validity
- Handle revisions and additional-work quotations quickly and with version control




- Join client and architect meetings to explain and defend estimates when needed
- Visit sites to measure and verify scope before pricing

Rates, vendors and cost control

- Maintain and grow the material library and rate database in our in-house software
- Benchmark vendor and market rates regularly, especially for price-sensitive materials, so no quotation goes out on old costs
- Work with procurement on vendor quotations and comparison sheets
- After award, track actual cost against estimate and report variations

Systems and reporting

- Keep the quotation pipeline and status tracker current (submitted, under revision, won, lost and why)
- Standardise item descriptions, units and specification clauses so every BOQ speaks the same language
- Work with design, execution and client-handling teams on drawings, inputs and site needs

What we are looking for

Must have

- Diploma or degree in Civil Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Landscape Architecture or Horticulture, or equivalent
- 4+ years in estimation or quantity surveying, preferably landscape contracting, then construction or civil, then interior fit-out
- Strong quantity take-off from drawings, with AutoCAD for measurement
- Advanced MS Excel: formulas, rate-analysis sheets, clean structured workbooks
- Working knowledge of civil rate analysis (DSR/PWD), GST, and standard units of measurement
- Clear written and spoken English and Malayalam
- Willingness to travel to sites

Strong advantage





- Landscape-specific estimation: plants and specimen trees, lawns, irrigation systems, water features, natural stone
- Experience pricing tenders or architect-issued BOQs for hospitality, healthcare or large residential projects
- Gulf or UAE project exposure
- Experience with estimation or ERP software, and comfort using AI tools to speed up work
- Tamil, Kannada or Hindi

What sets the best apart

- You notice the line that is missing from a BOQ, not just the lines that are there
- You can explain why a rate is what it is
- You leave every file cleaner than you found it

What we offer

- Work on some of the most distinctive landscape projects in South India
- Direct exposure to leadership and to how projects are won
- A role that shapes our estimation system, not just runs it
- Room to grow into a commercial leadership position
