1. Job Objective Serve as the technical and administrative liaison between the design office (design studio) and field execution. Responsible for developing executive architectural projects, ensuring their budgetary feasibility through unit cost analysis, and monitoring the financial and physical progress of the current construction project—reconciling contractor estimates and guaranteeing the flow of technical information. 2. Functions and Responsibilities **A. Design and Studio Area (Project Designer):** * **Executive Project Development:** Preparation of architectural drawings, sections, elevations, and construction details with high precision in **AutoCAD** and **Revit** (BIM). * **3D Modeling and Visualization:** Generation of 3D models to understand volumetric relationships and detect clashes among mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems or other construction conflicts prior to execution. * **Value Engineering:** Proposing design adjustments to optimize costs without compromising quality or aesthetics, including appropriate material selection. * **Change Management:** Updating "As-Built" drawings in accordance with on-site modifications. **B. Cost and Administration Area (Technical Office):** * **Unit Price Analysis (UPA):** Integration of price matrices (materials, labor, equipment) for new items or future project budgets. * **Work Quantity Takeoff Preparation:** Precise quantification of executed work volumes to verify contractor billing. * **Material Takeoff:** Calculation of total required materials (cement, steel, finishes) to schedule procurement and prevent shortages or waste. * **Progress Estimates:** Preparation and review of weekly/biweekly progress estimates (contractor billings vs. actual progress). * **Parametric and Detailed Budgets:** Generation of baseline budgets for new real estate projects designed internally. **C. Field Area (Support to Supervision):** * **Contractor Reconciliation:** "Reconciling" on-site takeoff quantities with contractors’ site supervisors (negotiation of volumes). * **Progress Reporting:** Generation of photographic and executive reports comparing scheduled versus actual progress. * **Technical Supervision:** Verification that on-site execution complies with drawing specifications and the quality of budgeted materials. 3. Candidate Profile **Education:** * Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, or related field (degree certificate and professional license mandatory). * Preferred: Postgraduate diploma in Cost Estimating, Construction Administration, or BIM. **Software Proficiency (Mandatory):** * **AutoCAD:** Advanced (Dynamic Blocks, Xrefs, scale management). * **Revit Architecture:** Advanced (Family modeling, quantity takeoff schedules, phase management). * **Excel:** Advanced (Pivot tables, logical formulas for takeoffs and comparisons). **Additional Software Proficiency:** * **Neodata or Opus:** (Industry-standard software for unit pricing). * **MS Project:** (For scheduling and Gantt charts). * **SketchUp / Lumion / Twinmotion:** (For design proposal presentations). **Experience:** * Minimum 1 year of verifiable experience in similar roles (site supervisors with design capability or project designers with cost control experience). * Demonstrable experience in structural (rough-in) and finishing works. 4. Competencies and Skills (Soft Skills) * **Negotiation Skills:** Ability to negotiate volumes and costs with contractors while maintaining authority. * **Holistic Vision:** Ability to understand how a single line on a drawing impacts cost and construction timeline. * **Organization and Methodology:** Impeccable file, drawing version, and financial reporting management. * **Stress Tolerance:** Ability to deliver progress estimates by strict deadlines. Employment Type: Full-time Salary: $8,000.00 – $12,000.00 per month Benefits: * Salary increases * Sick leave days * Flexible working hours Work Location: On-site employment
