About NE Tiny Homes

NE Tiny Homes is a leading ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) builder focused on delivering high-quality, efficient, and scalable housing solutions. We specialize in designing and building backyard homes that maximize property value and create new living opportunities.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a Pre-Construction Manager to take full ownership of the pre-construction process—from signed contract to shovel-ready.

Position Overview

This is a high-impact, ownership-driven role.

The Pre-Construction Manager is responsible for running the entire pre-construction phase of every project once a client signs—ensuring each job is fully scoped, approved, permitted, budgeted, and ready for a seamless handoff to construction.

You will be the central point of coordination between sales, design, engineering, permitting, and construction, making sure nothing falls through the cracks and every project moves forward efficiently.

Key ResponsibilitiesFull Ownership of Pre-Construction Process

• Take over all projects immediately after contract execution
• Drive each project from signed agreement through permit approval and construction readiness
• Own timelines, communication, and deliverables across all pre-con phases

Project Planning & Scope Development

• Develop and finalize detailed scopes of work for each ADU project
• Review feasibility, site conditions, zoning, and utility requirements
• Identify risks early and proactively solve issues before construction

Budgeting & Estimating

• Build and manage accurate project budgets and cost estimates
• Work with vendors and subcontractors to validate pricing
• Continuously optimize costs without sacrificing quality

Design & Engineering Coordination

• Manage architects, designers, and engineers to ensure plans are accurate and buildable
• Review plans for constructability and cost alignment
• Ensure all revisions are tracked and implemented properly

Permitting & Approvals

• Oversee the permitting process from submission to approval
• Coordinate with local municipalities, inspectors, and third parties
• Ensure all documentation is complete and compliant

Vendor & Subcontractor Management

• Source, bid, and select subcontractors for upcoming projects
• Build and maintain strong vendor relationships
• Ensure scope alignment between plans, budget, and trades

Timeline & Handoff to Construction

• Build detailed pre-construction schedules
• Ensure projects are 100% ready before construction begins
• Deliver clean, organized handoffs to the construction team

Qualifications

• 1+ years experience in construction, pre-construction, or project management
• Strong understanding of residential construction (ADU experience is a major plus)
• Experience with permitting and zoning processes (or ability to learn quickly)
• Ability to read and interpret plans, site layouts, and scopes
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail
• Strong communication and coordination skills
• Comfortable owning multiple projects simultaneously

What Success Looks Like

• Projects move smoothly from contract to permit without delays
• Accurate budgets with minimal surprises
• Clean, complete, build-ready project handoffs
• Reduced bottlenecks between departments
• Faster cycle times from signed deal to construction start

Compensation & Growth

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Performance-based bonuses tied to project timelines and efficiency
• Opportunity to grow into a senior operations or construction leadership role

Why This Role Matters

This role is critical to our growth. You are the person who ensures every project is set up for success before construction begins. If pre-construction is done right, everything else runs smoother—and you will own that outcome.
