• Prepare project budgets, cost estimates, and tender quotations covering labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and other construction expenses.
• Review contract provisions related to quantities, unit prices, payment terms, and settlements while maintaining project cost registers and monitoring actual costs against budgets.
• Identify cost deviations, analyze their causes, and recommend appropriate cost control measures to maintain project financial performance.
• Prepare progress payment applications, verify contractor quantities and supporting documentation, and coordinate payment assessments and final settlements with project owners, contractors, and auditors.
• Manage documentation for design changes, site instructions, and variation orders, including calculating additional quantities and costs and evaluating their impact on project budgets.
• Estimate material requirements, compare supplier quotations, analyze major construction material costs, and coordinate with procurement teams to support cost-effective purchasing decisions.
• Collaborate with BIM teams to verify model-based quantities and reconcile quantity take-offs with project budgets and construction requirements.
