Commercial & Quantity Knowledge (BOQ)
- Working knowledge of Bills of Quantities (BOQ) — able to actively participate in BOQ preparation aligned to the allocated project budget, not merely review it.
- Ability to independently review, update, and reconcile BOQs against site progress, flagging inclusions, exclusions, and variations as they arise.
- Comfortable reading and validating quantity take-offs, rate analyses, and vendor/contractor quotations against the approved BOQ.
- Tracks cost implications of design or material changes in real time and communicates budget impact proactively rather than after the fact.
- Maintains adherence to project schedules and budgets as a personal accountability metric, not just a reporting obligation.
- Technical Software & Drawing Skills
- Hands-on proficiency in AutoCAD is mandatory — the candidate must be able to personally draft, edit, and detail drawings, not only review or delegate them.
- Able to independently produce and markup working drawings, GFC (Good-for-Construction) drawings, sections, elevations, and detail drawings when required, without depending solely on the drafting team.
- Capable of stepping in to directly design, sketch, or redline layouts and details on short notice — particularly valuable when working away from the core studio team, where quick turnaround on a personally executed drawing can unblock a site query.
- Working knowledge of SketchUp, 3ds Max, or similar 3D visualisation tools to develop and communicate design intent is preferred.
- Comfortable using Photoshop or similar tools for presentation drawings, renders, and mood boards.
- Proficient with MS Office (Excel in particular, for BOQ trackers and schedules) and cloud-based file-sharing platforms for drawing version control.
- Able to read, cross-check, and correct structural and MEP drawings for coordination clashes, even without a structural/MEP consultant physically present.
Ownership, Accountability & Independent Working
- Demonstrated ability to operate as the authority on a project without daily in-person oversight, exercising sound judgement within a clearly defined scope of authority.
- Disciplined in proactive, structured reporting — regular written status updates, BOQ trackers, and site progress notes shared with the Studio/Principal on an agreed cadence, without needing to be chased.
- Escalates issues, delays, and budget deviations promptly and with complete information, rather than waiting to be asked.
- Comfortable using digital collaboration tools (video calls, shared drives, project trackers) as the primary mode of coordination with the core studio team.
- Self-driven in following up with consultants, vendors, and site teams to keep the project on schedule,
- Maintains the same documentation and quality discipline expected at the head office, ensuring drawings, approvals, and BOQ records are always audit-ready.
- Open to travel for site visits, client meetings, and studio check-ins as required by the project calendar.
Cost, Vendors & Site Execution
- Maintain in-depth knowledge of, and strict adherence to, the prepared Bill of Quantities, updating it promptly for inclusions or exclusions of items.
- Conduct thorough interactions and checks with suppliers and vendors on materials being supplied.
- Monitor the application of sourced materials on site against the design intent.
- Adapt plans to resolve construction or technical issues as they arise on site.
- Remain consistently available to the site supervisor and project team for queries and solutions,
- Attend field reviews, on-site meetings, and project meetings, and coordinate schedule reviews — in person where required and virtually otherwise.
