Share construction files with clients the right way

Construction projects generate a lot of documentation, from architectural drawings and CAD files to site reports and tender submissions. WeTransfer gets every file to your client exactly as it left your desk, with professional presentation, clear confirmation when they've accessed it, and controls to keep sensitive materials secure.

Send your first transfer

Send files to clients, stress-free

When you're delivering plans, specifications, or progress reports to a construction client, how you send the files is part of how you're judged as a professional. WeTransfer handles the heavy lifting for construction workflows, sending CAD drawings, 3D models, PDFs, and large site photography without compression or quality loss, so what the client sees is exactly what you approved. Clients can open the transfer directly in their browser and review documents or image sets before downloading, which keeps feedback focused and cuts out unnecessary back-and-forth. Password protection and restricted access by email address mean that tender documents, pre-contract drawings, or confidential site data only reach the people on your approved list. With download tracking enabled, you get a quiet notification when a client opens the files, so you can time your follow-up around something concrete rather than sending a chaser into the void.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


WeTransfer supports virtually any file type used on a construction project, including CAD drawings, DWG and DXF files, 3D models, PDFs, ZIP archives, large image sets, video walkthroughs, and Office documents like specifications or tender schedules. Files are sent exactly as they are, with no re-encoding, compression, or quality changes, so a detailed site plan or a high-resolution render arrives intact on the client's screen.


You can add a password to any transfer so only recipients who know it can access the files. For tighter control, restricted access lets you specify a list of email addresses, and anyone who isn't on that list simply cannot open the download link, regardless of how they got hold of it. Both options are available on all plans and can be set before you send or adjusted from your transfer panel afterwards.


Yes. Recipients can open images, PDFs, video, and audio files directly in the browser without downloading anything first. That means a client can scroll through a set of architectural drawings or a progress report, leave comments on individual files, and mark favorites, all before deciding what to download. No software installation is needed on their side, which matters when you're working with clients or contractors who aren't set up with specialist tools.


Turn on download tracking when you create a transfer and WeTransfer will notify you as soon as the client accesses the files, including when and who, for email transfers. For link-based deliveries, you can enable tracked access so recipients verify their email before downloading and you receive a notification each time. It gives you a clear signal to follow up on approvals, chase sign-off, or move to the next project stage without guessing.


On an Ultimate plan and above, you can set up a branded WeTransfer page with your company logo, custom background imagery, a personal subdomain, and branded notification emails. Clients receive something that looks like it came from your business rather than a generic file-sharing service, which reinforces professionalism at every handoff. You can also add a custom background image and description to individual transfers, useful for distinguishing between project phases or site deliveries.
