Send large construction files without the headache

Construction projects run on heavy files: CAD drawings, BIM models, site survey data, and high-resolution plans that email was never designed to handle. WeTransfer moves them from your browser to any recipient at full fidelity, with no compression, no software to install, and no account needed on the receiving end.

No file is too big

Getting project documentation to architects, contractors, or site teams shouldn't slow the build down. WeTransfer transfers CAD drawings, BIM files, 3D models, PDFs, and site photography directly from the browser, preserving every file exactly as it left your machine. Every transfer generates a unique download link you can paste into an email, a project management thread, or a handover document, and the person receiving it can access files without creating an account. When sharing sensitive tender documents or pre-approval plans, password protection and restricted access let you control precisely who can open a transfer. For construction teams managing large ongoing projects, WeTransfer Ultimate removes the per-transfer size ceiling and keeps files available for as long as a project phase demands.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. WeTransfer sends files in their original format with no compression and no re-encoding, so a CAD drawing or BIM model arrives exactly as it left your machine, byte for byte. There is no conversion step, no resolution loss, and no reformatting, regardless of the file type or size you upload.


You can send via a unique download link, which you share in any channel you like, whether that is email, a project management tool, or a site WhatsApp group. There is no limit on how many people can use a link transfer to download the files. If you prefer to send directly to specific inboxes, email transfers support multiple recipients per send.


You can upload whole folders and WeTransfer preserves the original structure, so the recipient downloads everything organized exactly the way you had it. That means a surveyor or engineer gets a neatly arranged package of files rather than a loose pile, saving time on the other end.


You can lock any transfer with a password, which must be shared separately outside WeTransfer, so only recipients who have it can access the files. For tighter control, the restricted access option limits downloads to a specific list of email addresses, and download tracking lets you see exactly who opened the transfer and when.


Free accounts can send up to 3 GB per transfer, which covers many document packages and plan sets. WeTransfer Ultimate removes the per-transfer size cap entirely, supports unlimited transfers, and lets you keep files available indefinitely rather than expiring after a few days, making it a practical fit for teams handling large BIM exports, point-cloud data, or multi-phase project archives. Teams on larger projects can also upgrade to a shared workspace plan that adds centralized billing and up to 5 TB of shared storage.
