Architectural Construction Representative
Job Description
Job Description Job Description CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATOR
About the job pH7 Architects is a leading architectural practice in the design of Senior Housing. Providing exceptional design while addressing the unique needs of our aging population. With a constant commitment to enriching the lives of seniors through thoughtful and innovative architecture, we proudly specialize in the design of purposeful senior living communities. The Role pH7’s business continues to expand in new ways to serve our growing list of outstanding clients. To help us achieve this, we’re looking for an independent, process-driven construction administrator whose excellent organization and communication skills are matched only by their ability to collaborate and help guide project teams to a successful project completion. This role will not only represent pH7 during construction but also provide a lasting impact on the final project outcomes and client relationship. This role requires leadership, egoless vision, and technical competence that also has deep experience and knowledge leveraging design vision and construction methodologies into lasting communities. What You’ll Do Construction contract administration services are the most time-consuming and record-intensive of all professional design services and delivering them requires patience and experience. Activities are time sensitive and carry increased legal ramifications. Efficient organization, timely execution, and thorough documentation are paramount for successful delivery. Architects direct the exchange of project information and communications during construction and coordinate any architecture work to be executed at this stage in the project. They provide information to the contractor that cannot be fully discerned from the drawings and specifications, including information from other team members. In addition, the architect observes the work to determine that it conforms to the project design and reviews submittals, acting on them within a reasonable time to avoid causing project delays. Although architects tend to think of construction phase services as those provided on the project site, much of this work is performed in the architect's office. Proficiency in and knowledge of the skills and responsibilities required to manage the architect's construction responsibilities are as much a part of construction administration as walking the job site and interacting with the contractor.
