manage GC performance throughout construction. - Determine which trades and specialty vendors to carry under the GC vs. hold owner-direct, and manage critical long-lead vendors. ### Cost & Commercial Controls - Build and own detailed budgets by trade/CSI division , separating hard costs, soft costs, FF&E, technology, allowances, and escalation , and manage design, construction, and GC contingencies deliberately. - Review and approve budgets, change orders, and invoices. - Govern the change-order process and distinguish legitimate changes from scope gaps the contractor should have carried. - Lead value engineering that protects scope and design intent;
