Cost Management and Value Engineering:

  • Collaborate with project managers and engineers to assess cost projections throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Identify value engineering opportunities and cost-saving measures without compromising project quality and safety.
  • Vendor and Subcontractor Relations: Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with vendors, suppliers, and subcontractors to ensure competitive pricing and timely delivery of materials and services.
