• 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.

• 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.
• Exceptional organizational and communication skills.
• Experience with residential construction management and purchasing software.
