Much work was done to complete the Empire State Building quickly.
Timetables and progress charts were published daily. They showed everything what needed to be done, which truck would go into the first floor, what it was carrying, and who was in charge to retrieve the materials. Every steel piece was made sure to be put in the correct derrick through a numbering system, and it indicated the proper place for it inside.
Thinking ahead allowed builders to construct the Empire State Building very quickly. Every day, workers were given instructions that showed what had to be done and where each delivery needed to go. Individual materials were marked to make sure they went to the right place in the building.
