Your senior estimators shouldn't be buried in take-offs.
WeBuildFlow gives established AU and NZ estimating firms a dedicated offshore team for QTO, documentation and estimating support — so your best people focus on pricing and winning work.
Estimating firms are turning down work they should be winning.
Experienced estimating teams hit a wall — not because they lack skill or clients, but because volume work piles up and there aren't enough hours to handle it locally without blowing the cost base.
With AU estimator salaries exceeding $90K+, adding headcount is slow and expensive — especially when the work you need done is structured, repeatable, and outsourceable to a team that knows AU standards.
Sound familiar?
- ✓ Senior estimators spending half their day on take-offs
- ✓ Turning down tenders because the team is at capacity
- ✓ Deadlines missed because documentation takes too long
- ✓ Reluctant to hire locally when work could slow down
- ✓ Junior staff QTO errors that take senior time to fix

Estimating support that plugs into your process
Everything we do is built around your workflow, your software, and your standards — not a generic offshore model.
Quantity Take-Off (QTO)
Full quantity take-offs from architectural drawings, measured to AU standards and delivered in your preferred format — ready for your senior estimator to price.
Working directly from your architectural plans, we produce complete or partial bills of quantities using your preferred take-off software — Bluebeam, PDF-XChange Editor, Quick-Scale, or similar. Every take-off is quality-checked before delivery, so your estimators receive clean, reliable numbers rather than something they need to re-verify line by line.
We work to your naming conventions, trade breakdowns, and measurement standards from day one. As we build familiarity with your typical projects, turnaround time improves and review time drops consistently.
Documentation
Building contracts, council submissions, supplier quotation requests and catalogue management — handled offshore to your templates, freeing your team for higher-value work.
We take on the documentation workload that pulls senior estimators away from pricing. This covers preparation of building contracts and council-related applications, supplier quotation requests (including checking accuracy and following up on amendments), and ongoing upkeep of your estimating catalogues and pricing libraries.
We work from your existing templates and documentation standards, so output lands exactly where your workflow expects it — ready for your final review, not a rewrite.
Estimating Support
End-to-end estimate preparation, from preliminary pricing through to post-contract — your standards, your software, delivered by a team that understands AU residential estimating.
We prepare full preliminary and detailed estimates matching your firm's standards, using your software and pricing templates. This ranges from initial sales estimates through to complete post-contract BOQs — including quality assurance checks and supplier consultation support as required.
This is the most integrated of our three services, best suited for estimating consultancies who need reliable surge capacity, or firms looking to scale output without adding a full-time local hire.
From discovery call to delivery in under two weeks
We plug into your existing process — not the other way around.
Discovery Call — 30 minutes
We start with a no-pressure conversation to understand your firm's workflow, the software you use, your typical project types, and where your team is feeling the squeeze. This isn't a sales call — it's a diagnostic. We'll be honest if we're not the right fit.
We Onboard to Your Process
We map your existing workflow, templates, file structure, and software. Our team trains on your specific standards — not a generic process. We ask questions, we document everything, and we don't start delivering until we're confident the output will match your expectations. Most clients are operational within 5–10 business days of the discovery call.
You Send Us Work
When jobs come in, you forward them to your WeBuildFlow team with the relevant drawings, specs, and any project notes. We work to your turnaround requirements, within your software environment, and keep you updated throughout. No need to rebuild your workflow around us — we fit into what you already do.
You Review, We Improve
Every deliverable is QA'd internally before it reaches you. You review, give feedback, and we refine. Over time, your WeBuildFlow team learns your preferences, your project types, and your standards so precisely that review time consistently drops. Monthly arrangements are common; there's no pressure to commit to anything beyond what you need.

We're not a generic outsourcing firm — we're a specialist offshore team built specifically for the AU and NZ estimating industry.
Why WeBuildFlow exists
Having worked within the AU residential estimating industry for more than six years, our founder saw a consistent pattern: established estimating firms were turning down work, missing tender deadlines, or burning out their best estimators — not because they lacked skill or clients, but because they simply could not scale capacity fast enough to match demand.
The local hire was too slow, too expensive, or both. And the generic offshore options — staffing firms with no understanding of AU building standards, software, or documentation requirements — weren't the answer either.
WeBuildFlow was built to fill that gap: a trained offshore estimating team that comes from the industry, knows the software, and understands what AU-standard actually means.
- ✓We train to your process — not a generic offshore workflow
- ✓Industry background means we speak your language
- ✓AU residential estimating experience from day one
- ✓Fixed monthly cost — no surprises, no surge billing
- ✓Confidentiality agreements as standard
- ✓No long-term contracts to start
Sachin brings over 6.5 years of hands-on experience in Australian residential estimating, working across preliminary and post-contract estimates, quantity take-offs, building contracts, and council documentation.
He founded WeBuildFlow to give AU and NZ estimating firms access to the kind of offshore support he knew was missing — a team trained to actual AU residential standards, using the software the industry uses, with the communication and quality discipline that serious estimating work requires.
"The opportunity was obvious. Great AU estimating firms were leaving work on the table not because of a skill gap, but a capacity gap. That's a solvable problem."
Tools we work in

5 Signs Your Estimating Team Is at Capacity (And What to Do About It)
When your senior estimators are doing take-offs that a junior could handle, it's not a workflow problem — it's a capacity problem. Here's how to spot the signs early.
The Hidden Cost of Senior Estimators Doing Junior Work
Every hour your head estimator spends on a straightforward QTO is an hour they're not pricing, not building client relationships, and not winning new work.
What to Look for in an Offshore Estimating Partner (For AU Firms)
Not all offshore estimating support is equal. AU residential projects have specific standards, software, and documentation requirements. A practical checklist.
