• Assist in preparing the Bill of Quantities and other tender documents across structural, architectural, MEP and interior works, while advising on procurement strategies for materials and contractors.
• Implement risk management, value engineering, and cost control strategies at every stage of the project to optimise both quality and budget.
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, and subcontractors to align design solutions with the project's cost plan.
• Assist with procurement processes as needed to support the project cost and quality requirements.
• Ensure clear communication and alignment between internal teams, clients, contractors, and subcontractors throughout the project lifecycle.
