  • Negotiate pricing, contracts, and terms with subcontractors and specialty vendors.
  • Prepare and issue accurate purchase orders reflecting custom specifications, allowances, and approved selections.
  • Ensure all subcontractor and vendor agreements are fully executed prior to commencement of work.
  • Maintain detailed job cost budgets and protect projected gross profit margins.
  • Manage allowances, upgrades, and homeowner-driven changes with updated pricing and cost analysis.
  • Coordinate closely with Project Managers and Superintendents to align material procurement with construction sequencing and site logistics.
  • Proactively manage long-lead and specialty items (custom millwork, windows, cabinetry, appliances, specialty finishes, etc.).
  • Identify value engineering opportunities while maintaining design intent and quality standards.
  • Monitor vendor performance for quality, schedule adherence, and craftsmanship standards.
  • Maintain accurate cost data and vendor records within purchasing and construction management systems.
  • Manage supply chain risks and resolve pricing, scope, or delivery conflicts efficiently.


Qualifications

  • 5+ years of purchasing or estimating experience in custom residential construction.
  • Strong understanding of architectural plans, specifications, and residential building materials.
  • Experience managing allowances, selections, and change orders in a custom environment.
  • Proven negotiation skills and established trade partner relationships.
  • Strong financial acumen with the ability to protect margins on complex, highly customized projects.
