Landscape Construction Estimator

About Us

Founded in 2018, Scapex Landscapes specialises in crafting inspirational, functional, and elegantly designed landscapes throughout Brisbane. We bring together industry-leading contemporary design and expert craftsmanship, working closely with architects and utilising natural materials to create outdoor environments that foster creativity, community, and harmony with their surroundings. Our scope includes both hardscapes—like concrete paving, stonework, timber structures—and softscapes, such as planting, turfing, irrigation, and drainage. From award-winning residential projects to bespoke elements like retaining walls, arbors, lighting installations, and synthetic turf putting greens, Scapex is driven by professionalism, quality, and excellence.

The Role

We are seeking a skilled Landscape Construction Estimator to join our Albion-based team. As an integral part of project delivery, you'll provide accurate and insightful estimates to help secure and deliver premium landscape projects that align with Scapex's vision and standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse project documentation—design plans, specifications, site conditions—and quantify materials, labour, and equipment needs.

• Estimate costs for hardscape and softscape elements, including stonework, carpentry, concrete, planting, irrigation, lighting, and features.

• Source and compare quotes from suppliers and subcontractors to ensure accuracy and value.

• Prepare detailed tender submissions and quotations aligned with project requirements and deadlines.

• Collaborate with project managers and construction teams to validate cost assumptions and ensure feasibility.

• Maintain and update a robust cost database of suppliers, unit rates, and historical project costs to support ongoing estimating accuracy

Skills & Experience

• Demonstrated experience as an estimator within landscape construction, civil, or related construction sectors.

• Knowledge of materials, methods, and labour requirements relevant to both softscape and hardscape tasks.

• Strong ability to interpret technical design plans and specifications.

• Excellent analytical skills, attention to detail, and numeracy.

• Effective communication and negotiation skills with suppliers, subcontractors, and internal teams.

• Proficiency in estimating software or Excel-based tools; familiarity with takeoff or tendering platforms is a plus.

What We Offer

• A creative, collaborative workplace dedicated to delivering high-quality landscape construction.

• Competitive salary reflecting expertise and experience.

• Exposure to award-winning and high-end residential and commercial projects.

• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
