This is a fantastic video. I love how Kienen really demystify's construction and makes it easy to understand at a higher level. Construction paints itself as complex (I am a Project Manager in the industry for 18 plus years) and at times it is- but I find such value in how he has a wonderful sense of humour and simplicity in his approach. WELL DONE! I wish there were more guys like you in the industry.
Currently going to school to become a civil engineer. Been watching a lot of TH-cam videos(especially yours) to get a better feel of what I’ll be doing. Thank you!! Great video
Good job of explaining the process. I am an architect myself but haven't designed or built a high rise building so this is certainly very helpful. Plus working on building an airport now also helps me learn more. Don't worry about your sketching skill. Your job is to build. Designer's job is to design, including sketching. Best.
@@KienenKoga As long as you are being trueful and speak from your heart, people will feel and resonate with it. Also, at my current job at the BIM office, we do use Naviswork, Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and Assemble (I haven't used it yet). I mostly do Logistic drawings. My coworkers do coordination. Very tedious. Talking about 1/4" or 1/2" clearance between objects. Best of luck. 🙏👍🤓
Thank you for the video, very educational. Please tell us what is the criteria on where to place the crane to build the tower?? 6:52 you talked about water proofing, what does it consist of? Mahalo !
This is excellent precisely because it was simplified! A lot of times people in the industry cannot communicate well because simplifying concepts - the way you have - is a challenge.
Your videos are so cool you’re slowly but surely becoming one of my favorite channels just because of what you do and the location. Plus you always add something funny 😂
I recently started working in recruitment for Multifamily Commercial Construction and loving your content! could you please do a video on the key workers for commercial construction from PM to Superintendent's and Engineers.
Thank you so much for this video!! Just stumbled upon your channel. Simple and straightforward to understand. I'd love to learn more about basement construction, retaining walls, and storm mitigation strategies during construction! Hopefully you'll have another funny video on that soon :)
I am in 4th year of architecture, and I want to make my first try of project of a Skyscraper, and this video is a good, Start! thx for the info hahaha, never worked with Skyscraper ideas ^^
Of course he/they do. If it can rock due to seismic forces,, it has to be compensated for in the movement/sway design in line with wind force & such. Even in far less complex designs,, such as single family dwellings seismic activity is taken into consideration adding additional re-bar,, tie down strapping & concrete to a single or 2 story home. There's a lot of additional cost added to a single home priced in the $250-300k range. A lot of it I view as overkill now but in the name of safety & a higher authority controlling all aspects of building,, we can no longer build a home off a paper napkin design (I once actually did this when codes were far more relaxed) & codes enforcement are self appointed gods when they enter a job site. What engineers do (this man) at a far higher level is necessary,, what they do at far lower levels is or has just gotten to be too much,, it is indeed overkill. Sorry,, I know you didn't ask my opinion or a dissertation on the issue but when you mentioned "seismic",, it struck a nerve in my once long building career I put to a halt due to that very subject. It's simply crazy now what they make building contractors do & how much it cost the consumer for features that will never be utilized or needed!! Have a nice day..
Hey great video Rouhollah from sydney, could you make a video of how the colomns and beams are made and the rules of it so like similar to these this video in more details please
Kienen, im loving my carreer now that i found your youtube channel, thanks a lot, do you have any books recomendation for contractors, civil engeniers? regards!
Hi. Kienen Koga. I have watched your video with a lot of interesting. I am working in general contractor as well, but I am always suffering in managing mega project like 50 stories high-rise building (either residential or office or hotel) especially in scheduling (making baseline program, and update in line with actual progress such as daily report, progress report). Can you share your best practice regarding above-mentioned works? I hope to learn from your great experience. Thank you. :-)
So how do you figure out how much steel, tons, thickness of columns to use. How much more steel on the 5th level of a 120 story skyscraper than on the 115th?
@@KienenKoga There is an article in an engineering magazine from the early 70s that said the heaviest perimeter panel was 22 tons. Some people call the panels 'wheatchex'. The name of the company that made them and their total weight is in the NCSTAR1 report. So why don't we know how many, and number of each different weight all of the way up the building? Why isn't the distribution of steel available on any skyscraper? All over the planet they must deal with the same gravity. The supposed top down collapse of the North Tower is unique in history. When has the conservation of momentum ever mattered so much in such a large man made mass?
I am a Geodetic Engineer/Surveyor looking for a clear explanation about high rise construction methodology and this one is the most well explained! Thank you!
I'm from eastern Nigeria & our ground is like a red clay sand that's usually used to make bricks, when digging out the dark dirt about a feet you then get to the soil. How many feet of dept for the foundation would carry about 20 storey building, because here we don't build more than 7storeys. Only in Lagos & Abuja all in Nigeria do we have more than 18storey height, different soil though, so what's the solution
I have a question. I see that most high rises and skyscrapers have brown steel build onto them. Then, after the steel is put in, it is covered and turned gray. How does the steel turn gray? Why is it covered? Does it oxidize, or get painted. Why does the steel turn gray? I have so many questions! I hope you can answer my questions, but if you don’t answer my questions than it’s okay but if you can then it would be helpful!
I live in China and they began a 12 story construction project across the street from our flat ironically on the 12th floor. I notice for 2 to 3 months all they did was soggy up the ground. Even dug pools to which they had some floating devices. No idea why.
Have you ever seen the movie The Towering Inferno? Do you have a way of explaining how they would renovate a high rise after it was damaged like it was in the movie?
With cast auger piles, when is the spoil removed? Is it removed as the auger is retracted once desired depth is hit? What about preventing soil on each side of the bore hole from collapsing while the auger has not yet hit depth?
how does the actual core support tons of materials, it seems unreal, literally thousands of tons holding from the bottom? how? how strong the bottom core is really? any comparison?
Worked with a contractor building a high rise in Canada. It's pretty cool to see that we pretty much follow the exact same process
awesome!
Hire me
Please talk
3yrs later and the video is still impacting…
Keep up the good work

thanks a lot man, your explanation is very easy to follow and not boring, keep it up!
Appreciate it!
Your analysis on every video is crazy. Real good!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Subscribed!
It is a great talent to be able to explain complex systems to layman in terms they understand.
Your attitude is fantastic.
Great video. Thanks.

I work on koula as an carpenter love watching your videos and seeing what u do as a engineer 🤙🏻
awesome Bradley! Looks like you guys are doing great! Especially with those offset columns lol
How fun that all jobs have a punchlist! Means something different in my career, but love to see industries intersect!
Cool!

I really appreciate it man! Thank you so much!
Hi Keinan . Magic well done buddy. First class
This is the first time I'm not getting bored. Great and fun way of delivering man. You're cool.
This was great! Thank you for posting! Quick straight to the point explanations and with diagrams, excellent!
This is great man! Very intelligent. Much appreciated.

Dude, super interesting. Thank you
I live in NYC and have been wondering what a hoist was for a while. Thanks.
Love the energy of author ❤
hi from Mexico! Thanks for this, was looking for one of these vids for a while now! We make creative vids all subjects
Thank you for the information.... learned something today
nice!
Informative and funny, we love to see it!
Thanks for sharing this video with us 🇺🇸
Thanks for watching Kirk!
This is really helpful. Thanks.
Appreciate it!
what an awesome guy, I wish you were my lecturer!!
hahaha thanks! means a lot
Yes definately has a potential to be an awesome educator
I am in 4th year of architecture, and I want to make my first try of project of a Skyscraper, and this video is a good, Start! thx for the info hahaha, never worked with Skyscraper ideas ^^
Awesome explanation.
Super helpful thank you so much for this. Can you do a video on the site works, storm storage tank etc? Thanks again
Really informative! Wondering how they add each floor ?
Is the tower crane also a fixed pile to allow stability against traction, torsion and compression forces?
Man you're the best!!!
thank you so much!
I love the video. So much information given with comedy lol... I currently major in CM at the University of Houston. I'll watch another.
thanks Ron!
Super explanation👍🏾
Thank you!
The Ground Piles are a cool technology, especially the Auger Cast Piles 🔥😃
agreed!!
I never knew the cranes had separate foundation built for it. Very interesting
Thanx Mr Koga
Keep up the good work man !
thank you so much!
The company that I work for does a rough-in MEP punch and a finish punch. It has saved SO many headaches.
Thank you Sir (From Malaysia)
awesome! thanks for watching!
amazing video
thank you!
As I've been watching a highrise go up, and wondering, how do they do that?, this video was excellent at explaining the basics! Thank you!
Explain underground/ basement built plz
Great Job,
thanks Omar!
Do you use BIM software to manage the project’s tasks and processes?
When will finishing works start? From down after windows or from above going down?
Do you have an idea on how to build 14 stories building fast in a factory and what is the technology we should use is there new and fast technology
this intro is GOLD LOL
Are the piles made of steel profiles forged in concrete mix of crushed stone, cement and water?
pls the windows on a high rise building do, they have beams or just lintel and what is the normal height of this beam or lintel ?
hi, how do you design lateral load system for high rise? Do you consider seismic design as well?
Of course he/they do. If it can rock due to seismic forces,, it has to be compensated for in the movement/sway design in line with wind force & such. Even in far less complex designs,, such as single family dwellings seismic activity is taken into consideration adding additional re-bar,, tie down strapping & concrete to a single or 2 story home.

Have a nice day..
How many acres of land would you need for the high rise or skyscraper
Wow man nice explanation . But i want know that how much expenses for this building . And and thumbs up from pk
Hey great video
Rouhollah from sydney, could you make a video of how the colomns and beams are made and the rules of it so like similar to these this video in more details please
Funny learning . I like it
Appreciate it!
Kienen, im loving my carreer now that i found your youtube channel, thanks a lot, do you have any books recomendation for contractors, civil engeniers? regards!
hm, not really. Just reading your construction contract, plans and specs is enough lol then I would read up on personal finance! haha
After the tower crane is done, how do we remove such huge fixed mechanism off the place?
How they build the floors of the building. Is there a giant thing that goes between each floor?
thank you for this.
appreciate you watching!

That introduction 😂 Love it
The Tower Cranes are put where the elevators will go, right ??
what are some things included in the core system of the building other than the elevator.......Thanks in advance
This is a lot to manage! Which part of the project is your favorite??
Building the structure! Nothing makes me happier than seeing concrete get poured 🤙
I’m dying to know how is everything measured. How do the workers know where to place stuff ? Or build things? Thank you for the video!!
Good Job !
thanks
Amazing!! I'm still trying to keep my house together 😂😂
You're a national treasure
Haha thanks man!
they should build high rise buildings in Beaufort sc that would look nice here
Question. Are buildings built straight or in angles?
What would you say is the best contractual agreement to choose when building high rise buildings and why?
So how do you figure out how much steel, tons, thickness of columns to use.
How much more steel on the 5th level of a 120 story skyscraper than on the 115th?
Its all in the structural drawings we are given. The lower floors typically have substantially more reinforcing

Damn u a awesome teacher but this is so overwhelming woahajaah . Damn respect for the people who built these amazing structures
Haha its a process for sure!
I live in China and they began a 12 story construction project across the street from our flat ironically on the 12th floor. I notice for 2 to 3 months all they did was soggy up the ground. Even dug pools to which they had some floating devices. No idea why.
i always wonder how the heck do they know where to exactly put the pipes, electrical cords in a skyscraper building...

Thanks!
damn..this is fascinating stuff!!!
I appreciate it! Haha
What is the most expensive part of building a skyrise apart from labor and land?
the opening is very funny. haha.
Caissons correct?
That was slabulous!
Lol well done
Do foundations usually take the longest to build?
Have you ever seen the movie The Towering Inferno? Do you have a way of explaining how they would renovate a high rise after it was damaged like it was in the movie?

Lol asking the real questions….
Awsome because 15mins is all I have to spare 😂
lol perfect!
I loved it
Thanks Michael!
"Woooooooo" 😂😂 lol every woooo
I am a CE student. Is construction engineering and management a good major? How about structural engineering?
Hey. I like your knowledge. Maybe one day I can hire you or your apprentice?
