• Coordinating with consultants and project teams throughout design and construction.
• Preparing and reviewing specifications.
• Managing contract administration and conducting field reviews.
• Performing site measurements, site analysis, and documenting existing conditions.
• Completing code and zoning reviews to ensure compliance with the BC Building Code and municipal bylaws.
• Preparing and managing complete permit drawing packages.
