• Collaborate with our operations team throughout the preconstruction process to ensure, logistics, programmes and onsite activities and buildability are accounted for in our cost.

• Collaborate with the design lead to capture and include design fees in the tender summary book (consultants, statutory authorities, surveys, schedules, and the like).

• Assist in the change control process, identifying design changes between RIBA stages, advising on the impact of the change and approximate cost.

• Carry out cost assessments on alternative design solutions to inform the final design and project/customer budget.

• Make customer insight led and data-driven decisions to provide solutions to customer requirements.
