Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I am looking currently looking at a project in Pakistan and have no idea as to the skill/expertise of the contractors in this country.

The project consists of several 35+ storey buildings of mixed use sitting on a podium car park.

Could anyone advise me on

1) The contracors within Pakistan with the expertise to complete this project

2) The type of construction generally used for high rise ie Steel, Concrete or hybrid

3) Typical cycle time per floor

I think you are coming from Al Habtoor Group for their project in Islamabad.

There are different contractors in Pakistan who have ability to complete such type of structures but limited to 15~25 stories at best.

Completion period for one Floor is from 20~30 days.
