Greetings iwubpreveFirst of all, thank you for sharing your expertise with us! i've been following the thread since it was here and now i have a question of my own in need of your expert opinion Alright, recently i've been in debate with a fellow friend on the basis of how to determine a project's construction progress. He was telling me that, base on his observation, most apartments should averagely built up between 1 to 1 1/2 Floor per month for a 30+- floor apartment (Regardless of the building size) IMO, i think it was a bit of layman to measure progress with that way. But that is the only visual confirmation we can get to check the progress of a project. so my question will be, what is the proper basis the one can use (As a homeowner or construction personnel) to determine the construction progress? Thanks

QUOTE(iwubpreve @ Aug 11 2016, 06:28 PM) hi, sorry for "abandon" this thread for a while.  actually is like the chart below, i try to put a simple chart so u can understand better. below is a chart for structure work. so for a building, we use the plan view and divide into 2 zone, namely zone A & zone B. if bigger site will divide into more zone. so each floor we have zone A and zone B. so horizontal denote as weeks, vertical is level of building. sequence of work is like this, complete level 1 zone A, only move to level 1 zone B. it look like u need 4 week to complete a floor, but in fact every 2 weeks u complete a floor. reason is because u have 2 team of workers. 1 team only do zone A, another do zone B. so level 1 zone A complete, then they move to level 2 zone a. in construction time is money. so have to plan the work within schedule. the chart only display structure. imagine u have all work included, the chart would be very massive and complex. u have facade, architectural work etc and different work might have different sequence. average there would be about 40 trades of work in each project. imagine this chart show 1 trade, put 40 trade inside would be really complicated. but this is important because it help u to plan the work, and at the same time it can be as a reference of claiming extension of time etc. [attachmentid=7301650] more like a "holiday" instead of "abandon".. Thanks for taking your time for the explanation... it also clarify the different section's height. btw, from your experience, what would the normal progression of a 33 storey service apartment that is build on top of approximately 2 acres of land? by standard 1 storey in 2 weeks after completion of all the ground work and stuff..?

QUOTE(iwubpreve @ Aug 15 2016, 09:11 AM) how many units per floor? if u mean after ground work (substructure work i mean) complete, it take abt 24 months to complete a condo with 15 units x 1500 sqft per floor. of course it could be varies depend on the complexity of building. and also things will happen in the midst of construction. like design changes or compliance issue and it will probably draw another few months. Its about 27 units per floor. Ground work is completed, they are now building up the parking floors and was at 5th floor already. Land clearing commenced at somewhere around October'15. They did have the problem to keep all the raw materials and machinery as there is limited space at the site for storage. IMHO, the parking floor should be up pretty quick since it was not as complex as the rest? correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks again for the reply
