order or magnitude analysis
order or magnitude analysis
(OP)
I have a client trying to decide betw 5 stories and 25 stories, looking for an order of magnitude differential in foundation size with a budget of effectively zero (looking for free services, no guarantee of getting the project). Rock is 15' down. 5 stories is easy to broadstroke, but there are too many unknowns for the 25 story. Where can I find a few good examples to look at? Just looking for a starting point.

I muse what are you going to see by seeing examples that you, your boss and your prospective client can't imagine within the reach of your respective practices.
This said, many commercial guys (more driven for profit in general that engineers, of course, and more commonly more successful at that) are strange and disturbing for their service providers because they are always looking for an aperture of opportunity; forfeit that and they may have behind efficient personal and organizational structures that most practicing engineering design would find difficult to match; they can be energetic and even show disturbingly keen awareness, ability and will to meet goals. It is all philosophy.
