  • Solicit and level subcontractor bids
  • Build clear, client-facing proposals with defined scope, allowances, and pricing
  • Coordinate walkthroughs, permitting, and preconstruction schedules
  • Assemble contracts and manage project documentation
  • Partner with Project Managers to ensure a smooth handoff to construction
  • Support active projects with change order pricing and site visits
