Communicate ideas through sketches, diagrams, models, and presentations; work with DI Build to evaluate early cost, schedule, phasing, and constructability implications.

Manage drawing and model coordination, interdisciplinary reviews, and quality control. Resolve conflicts and carry design decisions consistently through the documents. Coordinate pricing and procurement packages with DI Build, evaluate alternates and substitutions, and incorporate approved changes while protecting design intent and performance.

Review architectural submittals, shop drawings, samples, and mockups; respond to RFIs and issue clarifications and revised details in coordination with the architect of record and consultants. Work with DI Build to resolve field conditions and installation interfaces, assess the design implications of changes, and coordinate timely decisions with the client and project team.
