• Lead the review of Issued for Construction (IFC) documentation across all disciplines.
• Identify and resolve interface conflicts between systems during design and pre-construction.
• Assess design assumptions against construction constraints (e.g., logistics, crane reach, sequencing) and recommend buildability improvements.
• Oversee contractor submissions (shop drawings, method statements, materials) to ensure compliance with specs and design intent.
• Drive value engineering exercises to optimize specifications and reduce rework risks.
• Interface with client consultants and internal teams to clarify design intent and resolve technical issues.

2. Construction Methods & Site Logistics

• Proven ability to manage multidisciplinary coordination from design through construction.
• Experience supervising design managers and integrating design outputs into construction planning.
• Strong working knowledge of BIM processes and using models for coordination and optimization.
• Hands-on experience in construction method planning, scheduling, and workflow management.
• Technically grounded, pragmatic, and confident in site-based problem-solving and executive reporting.
