  • Oversee warranty process for first year after building delivery.

  • Train on-site property teams on building systems, maintenance workflows, safety protocols, and facility standards.
  • Develop tools, checklists, SOPs, and documentation to ensure consistency across the portfolio.
  • Provide clear post-visit reports, action plans, timelines, and follow-up expectations.
  • Partner closely with Operations, Property Management, and Development teams to escalate issues requiring strategic or capital planning.
