Move to Construction Forum Request Thread

[M II A II R II K]

If a proposal starts construction but goes unnoticed by the moderation team, feel free to post in here to request it be moved.

Site preparation or merely just digging the foundation doesn't count as contruction starting, since digging a hole is just that, digging a hole. And plus any construction taking place within a foundation that pertains only to the excavation doesn't count either, since that's not construction for the actual building itself.

• Foundation work includes the implementation of permanent foundation components such as the drilling of caissons, etc.

• Top down construction involving piling doesn't require a foundation to have been dug for a building to be considered under construction.

A tall building is considered to be ‘under construction’ when site clearing has been completed and foundation / piling work has begun.

This seems like it should have been moved a while ago:

I think Devon Headquarters in Oklahoma City should be moved to Construction, since it is in Site Prep and they have significant construction going on for the tower section foundation (which IS part of construction). Also, there is no chance of this project being cancelled.

To be consistent, it should be moved. After all, didn't Chicago Spire sit a long time in "construction" despite it only being site prep (or a big hole in the ground). Also, countless other towers were construction as soon as dirt started moving, I think we should be consistent. SSC moved Devon to Construction.

The Chicago Spire was under construction since it was moved to the construction section. The foundation is long since finished but construction in the hole was halted.

Anyway with that Oklahoma project looks like they haven't even started with the foundation and only just finished the demolition of the previous building.
