The Design Engineer is usually involved in the front end design, typically taking the leadership role in the Schematic Design and Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.

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.

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.
Located near the Ayalon freeway in a new business park development in Tel Aviv, the Electra Tower’s design concept involved creating a dialogue between the structural frame elements and the glazed façade of the tower, which was then broken into four segments. This approach creates a form which offers unique views of the tower from different perspectives with a contrast of solid and void, opacity and transparency.
By notching the corners of the building plan, outdoor terraces were created and more corner glazing was provided for offices. The concrete structure of the tower was carefully designed, involving pre-cast and cast-in-place slabs to meet the needs of the geometry of the building while also improving efficiency. The exposed columns were reduced in diameter, with extra reinforcing to emphasize their slenderness. The project was developed as a design/build project, optimizing design and construction time.
