Estimator / Luxury Houses D & C Builder
Company: Glue Executive Location: Sydney NSW Work Type: Full-time Work Arrangement: Onsite
This position is suited to an individual with a minimum of 12 months’ estimating experience seeking increased exposure, more significant projects, and a tangible long-term career trajectory. You may currently be a residential estimator, or you might have transitioned into estimating from a carpentry, site, or building background. A fundamental requirement is understanding the construction process for quality residential projects.

You will become part of a well-respected design and build company specialising in custom homes and substantial renovations across Sydney’s upper-tier residential markets. The projects are detailed and design-focused, distinct from volume construction.
The Role Your responsibilities will encompass estimating and pre-construction activities for luxury custom homes and major renovations. This includes:
- Preparing estimates, Bills of Quantities (BOQs), and scopes of work.
- Reviewing drawings and specifications.
- Collaborating with architects, designers, trades, and suppliers.
- Providing cost input during the design phase.
- Assisting with value engineering and buildability assessments.
- Supporting the proper setup of projects prior to site commencement.

- A minimum of 12 months’ estimating experience.
- Residential construction experience is preferred.
- High-end/custom home experience is highly regarded.
- The ability to read plans and specifications.
- A strong attention to detail.
- A practical understanding of buildability.
- Good communication skills.
- A trade, carpentry, or site background is highly regarded.
This represents a significant opportunity for someone keen to continue developing their estimating skills and work on quality residential projects with a business that supports its personnel.
