Construction Estimator | High End Residential

Company intro

Stark Builders is a Brisbane based design and build company delivering architectural renovations and new builds in the $500k to $3m range. We're a tight, ambitious team that cares deeply about craft, design, and doing things properly. We've just opened our new display office and we're growing, which is where you come in.

The role

We're looking for a mid level Estimator to own our quoting and take off process and support our pre construction pipeline. You'll work closely with our Pre Construction Manager and directly with our directors, architects, and trade partners. This is a genuine seat at the table in a growing business, not a back room number crunching gig.

Day to day you will:

• Prepare detailed estimates and quotes for architectural residential projects using Buildxact (open to using software of your choice)

• Complete accurate take offs from architectural and engineering drawings

• Source and manage trade and supplier pricing

• Support pre construction activities including scope development, allowances, and tender documentation

• Work with our joinery and selections ranges to build consistent, well structured quotes

• Contribute to improving our estimating templates, systems, and processes

About you

• 3 to 6 years of estimating experience in residential construction, ideally renovations or architectural builds

• Confident with Buildxact or a similar estimating platform

• Strong drawing literacy and an eye for detail, you catch the things others miss

• Comfortable talking to trades, suppliers, and clients

• Organised, self directed, and happy working in a small team where your work is visible

• A trade or construction background is a bonus but not essential

What we offer

• $100k to $130k + super, depending on experience

• Hybrid working arrangement from our new Brisbane display office

• Modern systems and a business that actually invests in its tools

• Direct access to leadership and real input into how we build our pre construction function

• A growing pipeline of genuinely interesting architectural projects
