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.
Eco Berrini is located in one of the few remaining vacant areas of a key corporate office district in São Paulo, and provides much demanded additional office space. Replacing an existing complex built in the 1980s, the existing parking deck was expanded to the eastern site edge, with the new tower constructed above the expansion. The access ramps to the parking levels split the ground floor in two distinct spaces, and this divide was carried through the aesthetic of the entire building’s massing all the way through to the top. The building is crowned by a canopy structure that overhangs an open sky garden amenity space.
The skin concept created different solutions for each of the four façades, designed to control heat gain and maximize natural light. Glazing was selected that reduces temperature interchange between interior and exterior to optimize air conditioning system consumption. The project utilized significant amounts of recycled material during construction, as well as regionally manufactured materials.
