How G+45 High-Rise Buildings are Constructed- Planning to Execution

1. Feasibility & Site Investigation

• Key Activities:

  • Topographic and geotechnical surveys

  • Soil bearing capacity and groundwater studies

  • Preliminary cost–benefit analysis

• Skill Focus:

  • Planning Engineering: Develop initial programme and resource outlines

  • Quantity Surveying: Estimate site investigation quantities

2. Design & Approvals How G+45 High-Rise Buildings are Constructed – Planning to Execution

• Key Activities:

  • Architectural, structural and MEP design coordination

  • Local authority plan submissions (FSI, fire clearance, environmental)

  • Value engineering workshops

• Skill Focus:

  • Estimation & Costing: Refine cost models as designs evolve

  • Tendering & Contracts Management: Draft scope and risk‑sharing clauses

3. Tendering & Contract Award

• Key Activities:

  • Preparation of BOQ and bid documents

  • Pre‑bid meetings and clarifications

  • Financial evaluation and contract negotiation

• Skill Focus:

  • Quantity Surveying: Finalize detailed bill of quantities

  • Tendering & Contracts Management: Manage bid submissions and awards

4. Preconstruction Mobilization

• Key Activities:

  • Establish site offices, worker camps and material yards

  • Procure long‑lead items (curtain wall, elevators, façade systems)

  • Finalize subcontractor agreements

• Skill Focus:

  • Billing Engineering: Structure interim payment schedules

  • Construction Project Management: Coordinate logistics across site

5. Foundation & Substructure

• Key Activities:

  • Piling (bored or CFA) and pile cap construction

  • Raft or mat foundation casting

  • Basement excavation and dewatering

• Skill Focus:

  • Quantity Surveying: Track actual vs. estimated foundation volumes

  • Planning Engineering: Monitor critical‑path for piling and backfill

6. Core & Superstructure

• Key Activities:

  • Reinforced concrete cores, columns and shear walls

  • Floor slab casting with formwork cycles

  • Structural steel elements (if any) erection

• Skill Focus:

  • Construction Project Management: Implement slip‑form or jump‑form systems

  • Planning Engineering: Optimize cycle times using look‑ahead scheduling

7. MEP Installation & Fit‑Out

• Key Activities:

  • Mechanical (HVAC) ductwork and piping installation

  • Electrical risers, panels and lighting fixtures

  • Plumbing lines, fire‑fighting networks and elevators

• Skill Focus:

  • Estimation & Costing: Control variations for MEP scope

  • Billing Engineering: Measure and bill MEP works in stages

8. Commissioning & Handover

• Key Activities:

  • System functional testing and balancing

  • Punch‑list closure and final snag rectifications

  • As‑built documentation and owner training

• Skill Focus:

  • Tendering & Contracts Management: Manage retention releases

  • Construction Project Management: Ensure smooth transition to facility management
