Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hello,

I am looking for standard man hours related to the high rise building design. I am working for a building company that won the bid for a tower (38 floors). We need to transform the bid drawings in building drawings but we are late and actually we don't know how many architects, engineers  and cad drawing should work for it.

Thanks, and regards

Dear Margot,

That is a general question because it depends on the design if it is repetitive or not.

As a starter you will need at least 5 Engineers and 5 draftsmen for each discipline, and you will end up maybe with 10 Engineers and 40 draftsmen depending on how much time and detailing you have to do.

For towers, usually you have several floors of basement and then a ground section and above them a repetitive floor. It may or may not be the case. And it also depends on how many packages you are working on;

Architectural

Civil

Electrical

Mechanical

Landscape

Interior

If you give us some more details, maybe we can help more.

With kind regards,

Samer
