  • Validate that shop drawings fully align with the approved design intent, specifications, performance criteria, and material standards.
  • Oversee the review and approval of all architectural material submittals, samples, and mock-ups prior to procurement and installation.
  • Coordinate architectural shop drawings with structural and MEP submissions to identify and resolve clashes in openings, ceiling voids, service routes, and structural interfaces.

  • Manage the Request for Information (RFI) process for all architectural matters, ensuring clear and timely coordination between contractors and consultants.
  • Act as the primary technical liaison between the lead architect and contractor’s technical teams to resolve design and constructability issues.
  • Review contractor-proposed Method Statements and Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) for architectural works, ensuring compliance with project standards.
  • Serve as the custodian of the project’s architectural design integrity, safeguarding aesthetics and technical quality throughout pre-construction and construction stages.
  • Documentation & Reporting

  • Maintain a comprehensive and up-to-date register of all architectural drawings, submittals, RFIs, and specifications.
  • Ensure the site supervision team has access to the latest approved and fully coordinated “Issued for Construction” drawings.
  • Support the preparation of accurate and complete as-built drawings and documentation at project completion.
  • Requirements

  • 10–15 years of post-qualification experience, with a strong focus on technical delivery, detailing, and documentation for large-scale projects.
  • Professional registration as an Architect (e.g., RIBA, AIA, or equivalent ) is highly advantageous.
  • Significant experience with international contractors, façade specialists, or major architectural / engineering consultancies.
  • Proven experience in managing technical coordination for high-rise, mixed-use, or complex building projects.
  • Expert knowledge of building envelope systems, waterproofing, façade engineering, and high-quality interior finishes.
  • Advanced proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD for model interrogation and drawing review.
  • Strong familiarity with international building codes and standards related to performance, fire safety, and accessibility.
  • Soft Skills

  • Attention to Detail : Exceptional precision in technical review, with the ability to identify even minor discrepancies or potential coordination issues.
  • Problem-Solving : Skilled in developing practical and buildable solutions while maintaining design intent.
  • Communication : Strong written and visual communication skills for clear and concise technical commentary.
  • Organization : Excellent document management and time-management abilities to handle large volumes of complex documentation.
