Key Responsibilities

A. End-to-End Project Ownership

The Project Head will be responsible for taking the development from planning through execution and handover, covering:

Concept → Master Plan → Design → Approvals → Tendering → Procurement → Mobilisation → Construction → MEP → Infrastructure → Finishing → Testing → Commissioning → Handover.

The Project Head should ensure that good design is converted into something that is technically executable, commercially viable and deliverable within schedule.

The Project Head should therefore be capable of driving consultants rather than merely coordinating with them.

This includes:

· Project budgets

· BOQs

· Cost estimates

· Budget vs actual

· Cost-to-complete

The objective should not simply be to construct within budget but to continuously identify value-engineering opportunities without diluting design quality or customer experience.

· Civil

· Structural

· Steel

· MEP

· Facade

· Elevators

· Flooring

· Sanitary

Every major risk should have an owner, mitigation plan and timeline.

The Project Head must be capable of aligning:

Promoters + CFO + Fund Manager + Architects + Consultants + Civil Engineers + Contractors + Vendors + Procurement + Finance + Legal + Approvals + Sales/Marketing.
