Preconstruction Manager

Elford Inc
Charlotte, NC Full Time
POSTED ON 4/3/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/1/2026

Preconstruction is where a project truly takes shape.

Before construction begins, the right planning, budgeting, and coordination have to be in place. The Preconstruction team works closely with owners, design teams, and field leadership to evaluate constructability, develop budgets, and make decisions that set the project up for success long before work begins on site.

Elford Construction is currently seeking a Preconstruction Manager to join our team. This role works directly with Project Executives, Estimating, and Operations to guide projects through the preconstruction phase — helping develop budgets, evaluate design progress, coordinate bid packages, and prepare projects for a smooth transition into construction.

Key areas of focus include:
• Managing project budgets and cost updates throughout design development
• Reviewing drawings and specifications for constructability and scope coordination
• Working with architects and engineers to support design progression
• Coordinating subcontractor outreach and bid packages
• Evaluating site logistics and construction sequencing with field leadership
• Tracking design revisions and cost impacts to the project
• Supporting value engineering and cost-saving opportunities
• Assisting with procurement planning and long-lead material strategies

This role is well suited for someone with experience in both estimating and project management, who enjoys working collaboratively with design teams, clients, and operations to solve problems early and create a strong foundation for construction.

At Elford, our preconstruction team supports projects across healthcare, multifamily, commercial, industrial, and education sectors, helping deliver work that strengthens the communities we serve.

If you’re interested in being part of the early strategy behind great projects, we welcome the opportunity to connect.
