I’m talking mostly about huge, designer buildings or skyscrapers that take a team of architects and years of experience to design. How are then the construction workers, who, in my narrow-minded world do not necessarily have to be very educated, able to synchronize in such a way that everyone knows exactly what to do to turn the architects’ plans into reality, and in such a short time?

I’m in the fence business. I’m currently at a site where 20 apartment complex’s are being built.
I don’t really understand how they do what they do, but from what I can understand is this. There’s several dozen crews doing what they know best and there’s usually one contractor that is in charge of everything. This one contractor has a main blueprint of what’s supposed to be done. There’s also a blueprint of the individual compex’s.
It all starts with ground work, then foundations, framing/roofing, siding, interiors (drywall windows appliances), landscaping, fencing (if the main contractor decides for one), asphalt/concrete (parking/sidewalks).
I hope this has explained some of the process or given you a better idea of what goes on.
