Key Responsibilities:

• Review architectural and façade drawings, details, and specifications for constructability and coordination with structural and MEP systems.
• Work closely with façade consultants, design teams, and client representatives to resolve technical and design issues
• Review and approve façade-related shop drawings, material submittals, mock-ups, and samples.
  
• Oversee on-site façade installation, ensuring adherence to approved designs, quality standards, and safety protocols.
• Manage façade subcontractors and suppliers, monitoring progress, manpower, and delivery schedules.
• Conduct regular inspections, quality checks, and performance tests (e.g., water tests, air leakage, thermal performance) for façade systems.
• Ensure compliance with local and international façade codes, standards, and project-specific performance requirements.
• Support the project team in cost control, value engineering, and optimization of façade systems without compromising quality.
