• Prepare project completion criteria and close-out documentation.
• Work with the Project QS to prepare subcontract and supplier tender packages.
• Manage the construction work packs process from development through implementation and handover, including on-site support to construction management.
• Support BIM priorities such as modular concepts, fabrication details, isometrics, and model validation for construction use, while controlling change management effectively.
