Usually involved in the front end design, with a "typical" condition being that of a leadership role through either Schematic Design or Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.
Other Consultant refers to other organizations which provided significant consultation services for a building project (e.g. wind consultants, environmental consultants, fire and life safety consultants, etc).

The CTBUH lists a project manager when a specific firm has been commissioned to oversee this aspect of a tall building’s design/construction. When the project management efforts are handled by the developer, main contract, or architect, this field will be omitted.
The main contractor is the supervisory contractor of all construction work on a project, management of sub-contractors and vendors, etc. May be referred to as "Construction Manager," however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Main Contractor" exclusively.
Other Consultant refers to other organizations which provided significant consultation services for a building project (e.g. wind consultants, environmental consultants, fire and life safety consultants, etc).
This slender tower sits above a four-story podium which houses a parking garage. The dramatically compressed lobby “screens” the parking garage from the street, providing ground floor amenity space. This transparent building lobby mediates between CASA and the street, engaging passersby and creating a sense of arrival and ceremony for residents and their guests. The fully glazed space is accented by a three-story hyacinth feature wall, an oak veneer wall sculpture and a mezzanine level accessed via a sandblasted glass and steel custom-designed staircase.
Residential floors are laid out in arrangements of between eight and ten units per floor, single loaded around a central elevator core. A system of sliding partitions permits a range of spatial configurations and uses within each unit. A continuous perimeter balcony provides both a generous amount of exterior amenity, and passive sun shading for the interiors of the extensively glazed building. The roof of the podium and first floor of the tower make up an indoor-outdoor amenity space.
