• Assist Contractor in coordinating with architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, and utility providers to resolve field issues and maintain project momentum.
• Conduct regular site visits to monitor construction quality, safety, schedule compliance, and adherence to contract documents.
• Ensure projects comply with all applicable building codes, permitting requirements, governmental regulations, and owner standards.
• Manage the project close‑out process, including unit punch list completion, commissioning, Certificate of Occupancy, warranties, as‑built documentation, and turnover to Property Management and Asset Management.
• Coordinate FF&E installation, owner vendors, technology systems, security, and operational readiness activities.
• Review contractor‑prepared monthly construction reports, including schedule updates, budget status, contingency tracking, risk assessments, and executive summaries.
• Identify project risks and proactively develop mitigation strategies with the Contractor and consultants to ensure project success.
• Participate in owner, contractor, architect, and consultant meetings while documenting decisions and driving accountability.
• Support due diligence activities for future phases, including constructability reviews, infrastructure coordination, logistics planning, and long‑term project sequencing.
• Develop and maintain relationships with contractors, subcontractors, consultants, municipalities, and industry organizations to support continued growth of the multifamily development platform.
• Promote a culture focused on safety, quality, teamwork, and continuous improvement across all assigned projects.
