ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead the team in value engineering at every phase of design.
Manage relationships with neighbors for pre-construction surveys and general coordination during construction.
Lead regular team meetings and actively manage budget, schedule and quality throughout construction.
Liaising with the marketing team throughout design and leasing; assisting with purchase of model unit furnishings.
Selection of property management team for ongoing operation of the building.
Development and maintenance of the project budget including regular updates to Ownership.
Assist the Owner with making design decisions with respect to programmatic, operational and cost considerations.
SPECIAL COMPLEXITIES
Coordinating the demolition of the existing building and liaising with existing tenants.
Very difficult subsurface rock conditions – leading the team with design modifications to reduce rock excavation costs and negotiating change orders with general contractor as rock excavation progressed.
Our expertise in procurement strategies helped the client save $1MM in the contract buyout by rebidding the project to a new group of general contractors after the construction documents were complete.
Additional savings were seen during the course of the project, through the team’s continued efforts to find value engineering options and our negotiations with the GC.
