The Preconstruction Project Manager is responsible for managing projects from turnover by Development at approximately 30% design through construction-ready design and turnover to Operations. This role leads the preconstruction process, coordinating due diligence, external engineering, permitting, design reviews, procurement considerations, and project stakeholders to ensure projects are properly prepared for construction. The position serves as the primary link between Development and Operations, helping maintain project scope, budget, schedule, constructability, safety, and client commitments.

• Takes ownership of projects following turnover from Development at the 30% design stage.
• Reviews the 30% design package, project scope, pricing assumptions, client requirements, schedule, site information, and Development documentation.
• Confirms the basis of design and identifies missing information, unresolved decisions, or outstanding due diligence required to advance the project.
• Establishes the preconstruction plan and schedule from 30% turnover through construction-ready design and turnover to Operations.
• Identifies critical-path activities that could delay engineering, permitting, procurement, or construction readiness.
• Clearly assigns ownership and required completion dates for outstanding items.
• Communicates project readiness, risks, and outstanding requirements to Development, Sales, Engineering, and Operations.

• Reviews due diligence completed during Development and determines what additional information, if any, is required for detailed engineering.
• Coordinates completion of required site investigations, surveys, studies, reports, and supporting documentation.
• Coordinates with Development and Sales when client authorization, site access, information, or decisions are required.
• Ensures external engineers receive complete and accurate information necessary to begin their work.
• Tracks outstanding due diligence items through completion and communicates potential schedule impacts.
• Verifies that required due diligence information has been incorporated into the external engineering design.
• Depending on the project, due diligence may include:
• Topographic and boundary surveys
• Utility locating and existing-conditions verification
• Geotechnical investigations and reports
• Civil/site surveys
• Drainage and grading information
• Environmental investigations or studies
• Existing electrical infrastructure information
• Utility service and interconnection information
• Existing structural information
• Site access and constructability evaluations
• Title, easement, and property information
• AHJ and permitting requirements
• Fire department requirements
• Utility requirements
• Client-specific design standards
• Equipment information and manufacturer requirements
• Other project-specific investigations required to complete engineering
• The Preconstruction Project Manager is not necessarily responsible for personally performing these studies but is accountable for identifying what is required, coordinating the appropriate parties, tracking completion, and ensuring the information is available when needed by the engineering team.
