And it required 380 engineers to build the Burj Dubai.
The only difference is for most software projects it is acceptable to have "bugs" as customers will still pay for it, even if it's in a poor state of quality. But "bugs" in a 2,717 ft tower are unacceptable.
It comes down to, in general the cost of a bug in most software is relatively low compared to other engineering disciplines. Of course if the software is critical support systems for Astronauts that's a different story.
