We are seeking a dynamic Pre-Construction Manager with experience across both pre-construction and delivery to support integrated Design & Build projects. This hybrid role combines early-stage design coordination, cost planning, and procurement strategy with ongoing involvement during construction to ensure a seamless handover and strong alignment between the project vision and on-site delivery.

Working closely with clients, designers, estimators, and site teams, you’ll play a key role in translating concept into construction, ensuring each project is commercially viable, technically sound, and built with quality and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

Pre-Construction Phase:

Client Briefing & Feasibility:

• Engage early with clients to understand project requirements, site constraints, and objectives.
• Support feasibility studies, outline specifications, and budget development.

Design Coordination:

• Manage the design process across RIBA Stages 1–4, ensuring alignment with buildability, budget, and programme.
• Lead design reviews with architects, engineers, and consultants, flagging risks and opportunities.
• Prepare and manage cost plans through all stages, working with internal and external estimators.
• Monitor value engineering opportunities to maintain quality and meet financial targets.
• Work with planners to develop and maintain pre-construction and delivery schedules.
• Lead early procurement strategies, subcontractor engagement, and tendering for key packages.
• Identify key risks (design, commercial, delivery) and support development of mitigation strategies.
• Ensure all designs and specs meet building regulations, planning conditions, and compliance standards.

Build Phase (Delivery Support):

Handover to Delivery:

• Provide a detailed and structured handover to site teams, including technical documentation, design rationale, and budget notes.
• Support pre-start and early-stage site mobilisation.

Design Continuity:

• Remain involved during construction to ensure design intent is maintained and address any technical queries (RFI management, minor design revisions, etc.).
• Liaise between site teams and design consultants to resolve issues efficiently.

Progress Monitoring:

• Assist with tracking cost and programme performance, change control, and client reporting during early-stage construction.
• Degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in pre-construction, estimating, or design management, ideally within Design & Build.
• Strong knowledge of Design and Build fit out projects, various CAT A & CAT B.
• Strong technical knowledge of construction methods, materials, and regulations.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills — confident working with clients, consultants, and subcontractors.
• Understanding of the full project lifecycle, from concept through delivery.
