To be fair, architects rely on the quantity surveyor/cost estimator to get pricing - architects don't price anything.

what we do is put together the design and the spec package... other consultants do the detail design on their respective scopes, but designing a complicated massing is going to equal a complicated structural package for sure.

Not a fan of the design to be honest... going to be hard to keep a lot of what they are proposing, so it will get value engineered down to a shell of what it was originally.

i'd be interested to see what the interiors look like

I appreciate the face they are being bold and taking risks however...i would be surprised if this massive canopy gets built though...time will tell
