- Contribute to early value-engineering assessments and identify potential technical risks or grey areas between design and architecture/media scope.
Design Development (DD) Phase
- Produce scalable, dimensioned drawings including floor plans, elevations, sections, and exploded diagrams.
- Ensure all technical requirements and drawings from consultants (lighting, HVAC, AV, security, structural) are captured, integrated and coordinated
- Support design feasibility checks to ensure buildability within budget constraints.
Construction Documentation (CD) Phase
- Develop comprehensive bid-level drawing packages including detailed plans, elevations, details, and finish specifications.
- Coordinate closely with AV, lighting, structural and fabrication consultants to ensure alignment across all disciplines.
- Assist in internal quality control and drawing reviews before client submission.
Construction Administration (CA) Phase
- Review shop drawings, material samples, and prototypes; flag inconsistencies against design intent.
- Conduct site visits to assess installation by the builder/fabricator
- Assist in producing and managing punch lists; verify on-site adjustments for compliance with technical documentation.
- Coordinate as-built documentation.
