His main job is to turn drawings, quantity take-offs and design criteria into <strong>solid cost and schedule estimates<\/strong>, taking into account variables such as resources, industry productivity rates, economic projections and contingencies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is clear for our clients: <strong>well-defined projects, not only in technical terms but also in economic ones.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roberto has grown along with the company, within a <strong>culture built on collaboration and constant learning<\/strong>. He is methodical and rigorous in his work, driven to keep developing and to contribute more and more from roles of greater responsibility.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside the office he swaps his desk for the pitch: he plays football as a centre-back and, being from Temuco, keeps a strong bond with the south of Chile and the outdoors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Keypro we believe that <strong>quality engineering comes from people with judgment, experience and commitment<\/strong>. The work of the Estimating team \u2014and of professionals like Roberto\u2014 is key to delivering solutions with real value for our clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/aldeahostlatam.com\/key\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-854\" style=\"width:320px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aldeahostlatam.com\/key\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image.jpg 683w, https:\/\/aldeahostlatam.com\/key\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In engineering, the success of a project depends not only on the design, but also on estimating how much it costs and how long it takes to deliver.
