• Ensure all construction meets or exceeds local building codes and municipal engineering requirements.
• Manage municipal and structural inspections at critical milestones (foundation, framing, insulation, final occupancy).

Stakeholder Communication

• Liaise with municipal inspectors, architects, and internal project coordinators to clear hurdles and secure required permits.
• Provide transparent progress reports on schedule pacing and budget status to senior management.
• Oversee the final unit deficiency punch-list and ensure clean, timely homeowner handovers.
