Serve as a key member of the executive team, advising on opportunities and risks related to design, preconstruction, and development trends.
Develop and implement best practices, processes, and technology platforms to optimize design quality, estimating accuracy, and cross-department collaboration.
Champion innovation, sustainability, and continuous improvement across all phases of design and preconstruction.

Design & Preconstruction Management

Oversee all design and preconstruction activities from conceptual design through project delivery, ensuring projects meet design intent, budget goals, and schedule commitments.

Lead the preparation of conceptual estimates, budgets, value engineering studies, and risk analyses to inform early project decisions.

Direct constructability reviews, early procurement planning, and design coordination to ensure seamless transition to construction.

Review and approve all design proposals and preconstruction deliverables for consistency with brand standards, community impact, and client expectations.

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

Act as the senior client‑facing representative during pursuit, negotiation, design, and preconstruction phases.

Build and maintain strategic relationships with developers, architects, engineers, city agencies, and community stakeholders.

Provide thought leadership and market insights to position the company as a trusted partner in design‑led development.

Represent the company at industry events, design charrettes, and public forums to promote brand leadership.

Lead, mentor, and inspire a high‑performing multidisciplinary team, including designers, estimators, and preconstruction professionals.

Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, innovation, and professional growth.

Establish and monitor departmental KPIs to ensure operational excellence and continuous improvement.

Identify and recruit top‑tier design and preconstruction talent to strengthen organizational capacity.

Financial & Risk Oversight

Ensure design and preconstruction outputs support accurate, competitive, and profitable project delivery.

Provide executive oversight for risk identification, mitigation strategies, and contract negotiations.

Collaborate with finance, operations, and business development to achieve margin, schedule, and quality objectives.

Quality, Sustainability & Compliance

Ensure all designs meet regulatory codes, safety standards, and sustainability goals, including LEED and energy efficiency initiatives.

Promote universal design and environmental stewardship, aligning aesthetic vision with responsible development.

Balance creativity, functionality, and fiscal responsibility to deliver projects that enhance both brand value and community impact.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).

15+ years of progressive experience in design leadership, preconstruction, or integrated project delivery, with at least five years in an executive leadership role.

Proven success leading large‑scale commercial, industrial, or mixed‑use development projects through design and preconstruction phases.

Deep understanding of design‑build, CM‑at‑Risk, and GMP delivery models, as well as construction means and methods.

Strong knowledge of building codes, zoning laws, sustainability standards, and regulatory compliance.

Exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder relationship skills.

Proficiency with design and preconstruction software (e.g., Revit, Procore, Bluebeam, Timberline, or similar).

Desired Attributes
