  • Approve material and finish samples/mock-ups prior to full rollout.
  • Sign off of site installation related to the interior design and custom furniture and lighting manufacturing.

Documentation & Reporting

  • Maintain a master log of design queries (RFIs), approvals, variations, and quality inspection reports.
  • Provide regular progress and quality status reports to the Head of Projects/VP Projects.
  • Flag risks related to design-execution gaps, material lead times, or contractor performance.

Stakeholder Management

  • Represent design quality interests in site coordination meetings.
  • Support procurement in evaluating contractor/vendor capability for interior finishing works.
