So here is the official guideline:
"Make a large number of improvements to the site, such as by uploading, translating, tagging, contributing to forum discussions or anything else that is helpful to other users"
But what are the exact numbers?

I really don't think there's going to be a good way to have a raw numbers goal written down anywhere or to aim for, since it's hard to tell from a numbers standpoint which edits are substantial and which edits are fixing a minor formatting error. Not to mention edits which might have to be fixed later.
I'd say just be consistent and your work will be noticed.
There are no exact numbers, the criteria varies between both the users and the staff who are considering a user for a promotion. Some staff may have a higher threshold for a user to reach than others before committing, including trustworthiness to handle the privileges that come with the new rank. Exact numbers are intentionally not written because such a thing doesn't exist.
I like zerochan's approach more personally, where you get promotions from metrics, at least to gold would be a good idea.
But yeah as others stated, theres no metrics here. If it looks like you are doing a good job, then admins will check you out and promote you if they think your efforts are substantial.

As someone who once asked the same question, the most important thing to do is make sure there's no good reason *not* to promote you. Are you thoroughly and correctly tagging your uploads so that someone else doesn't have to come along and fix them? Are you only adding gentags when they're really needed, and after asking in the forum or chat about whether a good alternative might exist?
It's important to contribute to the site, but it's also important that your contributions don't create excessive work for others.
500-1000 uploads with less than 5% delete posts.
You'll get promoted faster if your delete posts are almost non-existent and you might get promoted straight to contributer and skip builder all together, but recent vandalism or bad behavior might dealy the promotion even if you met the criteria.

Aren't those numbers usually cited for Contributor? Definitely don't need that for Builder, at that point you'd probably just skip Builder entirely.
