Build on a solid system and help take it to the next level.
Estimating is where assumptions are removed, buildability is proven and margin is protected before a job ever hits site. It’s not just about producing a price. It’s about building the system that makes every estimate consistent, accurate and construction‑ready.
We’re looking for a Production Systems Estimator to own and evolve the estimating engine that underpins everything we build. You’ll sit at the centre of estimating, procurement and construction, owning the integrity of Databuild, the Method of Measure and the feedback loop between estimate and reality.
Why you’ll love working at AVIA
* A growing, people‑first builder with a clear product and quality vision
* A systems-first environment where process quality drives performance
* Direct impact on margin, buildability and construction outcomes
* Strong alignment between estimating, procurement and site teams
* The opportunity to shape a scalable production estimating engine
What You’ll Be Doing
* Own the trade-side Databuild engine including recipes, macros, regional pricing and order profiles
* Build and evolve the Method of Measure library, turning product spec into buildable logic
* Keep recipes and macros current across the Volos base and all upgrade overlays
* Drive the estimate-to-actual variance loop, feeding insights back into system logic
* Ensure Databuild is always current with zero stale pricing
* Communicate all trade price changes clearly across stakeholders
* Support BOQs, take-offs and value engineering to strengthen build-ready outputs
What you bring
* 5+ years in residential estimating, ideally in a production environment
* Deep Databuild capability across recipes, macros and trade-side structures
* Strong grasp of construction logic, sequencing and cost drivers
* Experience building systems and cost libraries, not just producing estimates
* High standards for accuracy, clarity and commercially sound outcomes
This role may not be for you if you
* Prefer one‑off solutions instead of building repeatable systems
* Rely on memory over documented processes and standards
* Default to speed over accuracy and completeness
* See estimating as a task, not a critical part of the production system
* Focus on inputs rather than measurable outcomes
