Design Development - AGM/GM

Key Responsibilities

• Design Quality Assurance & Coordination
• Output Control: Review and approve of key deliverables at concept, schematic, detailed design, and GFC stages to ensure accuracy and completeness.
• Cross-Disciplinary Freeze: Lead the design freeze process, ensuring zero unresolved conflicts between structural, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing), architectural, and landscape disciplines within defined timelines.
• Coordination Validation: Verify that all schematic and detailed designs have resolved all overlaps and clashes before issuance for site execution.
• Design Audits: Conduct monthly design verification audits to cross-check area statements, drawing packages, and overall design consistency.
• Process Enforcement & Review Protocols
• Multi-Layer Reviews: Implement and enforce a formal, multi-layer design review process using mandatory checklists and sign-offs from stakeholders and consultants at every project phase.
• Quality Gates: Maintain strict control to prevent incomplete or non-compliant design packages from progressing to the next stage.
• Comment Resolution: Ensure all cross-functional design comments are addressed by consultants within a strict 5-working-day timeframe.
• Audit Leadership: Lead fortnightly multi-consultant design audits to proactively identify and resolve coordination issues prior to site release.
• Consultant & Vendor Management
• Scope Definition: Review and approve 100% of consultant appointment scopes, ensuring deliverables and timelines are clearly defined before agreements are signed.
• Timeline Enforcement: Enforce submission schedules and manage escalation procedures for delays exceeding 7 working days.
• Performance Evaluation: Conduct monthly evaluations of consultants based on technical accuracy, timeliness, and responsiveness. Verify that all deliverables meet a minimum 90% accuracy and completeness threshold.
• RFI Management: Ensure that 100% of Requests for Information (RFIs) and consultant queries receive responses within 3 working days.
• GFC Release & Site Support
• Package Validation: Validate 100% of GFC packages (architectural, structural, MEP, landscape, interiors) for full coordination with zero open points before release to site.
• Version Control: Enforce absolute version control, ensuring all GFC revisions are issued within 2 working days of approval.
• Documentation Tracking: Maintain a master GFC and RFI tracker with 100% accuracy, updated weekly and reviewed monthly.
• Site Conformance: Conduct site audits at critical milestones (e.g., plinth, slab, finishing stages) to verify on-site adherence to the latest design drawings.
• Regulatory Compliance & Documentation
• Statutory Approvals: Review of submissions to statutory bodies (e.g., BBMP, BDA, Fire Services) to ensure technical and legal compliance, targeting zero rejections due to design errors.
• Document Integrity: Validate that all approval drawings are accurately version-controlled and filed for complete traceability.
• Audit & Closure: Conduct quarterly internal audits of all design documentation (drawings, MOMs, RFIs) to ensure traceability. Oversee the compilation of final as-built drawings and ensure regulatory closure within 30 days of project completion.
