• Cost Control & Reporting: Maintain live cost tracking logs, issue monthly project cost reports, monitor budget variances, and provide accurate estimates at completion (EAC).
• Change Order Management: Rigorously evaluate variations, claims for delay/disruption, and price escalations in alignment with contract terms.

4. Contract Administration & Closure

• Contract Administration: Draft formal letters, notices, and contractual correspondence related to progress, delays, and variation approvals.
• Final Accounts: Negotiate and settle final accounts with MEP contractors, ensuring all testing/commissioning certificates, operation manuals, as-built drawings, and warranties are handed over smoothly.

• Technical Proficiency:
• In-depth knowledge of MEP systems specific to hotels: central chiller plants, boilers, heat pumps, water treatment plants (WTP/STP), acoustic insulation, guestroom automation systems (GRMS), high-voltage substations, and kitchen/laundry MEP connections.
• Mastery of measurement standards (e.g., NRM, SMM7, IS 1200) and FIDIC / bespoke standard contracts.
• Hands-on proficiency with QS and estimation software (e.g., CostX, AutoBlock, MS Excel, AutoCAD) and ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, or Candy).

• Clear cross-functional communication with MEP design consultants, project management consultants (PMC), hotel operators, and site execution teams.
