We are seeking a dynamic Pre-Construction Manager with experience across both pre-construction and delivery to support integrated Design & Build projects. This hybrid role combines early-stage design coordination, cost planning, and procurement strategy with ongoing involvement during construction to ensure a seamless handover and strong alignment between the project vision and on-site delivery.
Working closely with clients, designers, estimators, and site teams, you’ll play a key role in translating concept into construction, ensuring each project is commercially viable, technically sound, and built with quality and efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
Pre-Construction Phase:
Client Briefing & Feasibility:
* Engage early with clients to understand project requirements, site constraints, and objectives.
* Support feasibility studies, outline specifications, and budget development.
Design Coordination:
* Manage the design process across RIBA Stages 1–4, ensuring alignment with buildability, budget, and programme.
* Lead design reviews with architects, engineers, and consultants, flagging risks and opportunities.
* Prepare and manage cost plans through all stages, working with internal and external estimators.
* Monitor value engineering opportunities to maintain quality and meet financial targets.
* Work with planners to develop and maintain pre-construction and delivery schedules.
* Lead early procurement strategies, subcontractor engagement, and tendering for key packages.
* Identify key risks (design, commercial, delivery) and support development of mitigation strategies.
* Ensure all designs and specs meet building regulations, planning conditions, and compliance standards.
Build Phase (Delivery Support):
Handover to Delivery:
* Provide a detailed and structured handover to site teams, including technical documentation, design rationale, and budget notes.
* Support pre-start and early-stage site mobilisation.
Design Continuity:
* Remain involved during construction to ensure design intent is maintained and address any technical queries (RFI management, minor design revisions, etc.).
* Liaise between site teams and design consultants to resolve issues efficiently.
Progress Monitoring:
* Assist with tracking cost and programme performance, change control, and client reporting during early-stage construction.
* Degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, or a related discipline.
* 5+ years of experience in pre-construction, estimating, or design management, ideally within Design & Build.
* Strong knowledge of Design and Build fit out projects, various CAT A & CAT B.
* Strong technical knowledge of construction methods, materials, and regulations.
* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills — confident working with clients, consultants, and subcontractors.
* Understanding of the full project lifecycle, from concept through delivery.
