How are large-scale, intricate construction sites organized so that every worker knows exactly what and when to do?

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?

It’s like the military. You have crews run by crew foremen managed by site foremen governed by project planners.

Consider the offices of any large corporation – how does each individual know what they should be doing? A hierarchy of superiors.
