• Budget Management: Evaluate project costs, including materials, labor, and geographic factors, to ensure accurate and competitive pricing. You’ll also work with subcontractors and suppliers to resolve pricing issues and maintain project budgets.
• Strategic Planning: Develop comprehensive project plans, including timelines, resource allocation, and budgets. You’ll also identify potential risks and create strategies to mitigate them.
• Blueprint Analysis: Read and interpret architectural drawings and specifications for architectural hardware projects, ensuring full compliance with all building codes and safety standards.
