    This is AMAZING!

    It takes us about 3 months to build 1 house--


    This amazing high rise in China was built in just 2 weeks by constructing nearly all elements on the ground and lifting into place. They did a time lapse video and it is mind blowing what they achieved in such a short time.

    Ja, but we forget all the time required to organise all the bits and pieces, verification and ensuring that every piece is correct and perfect. In a case like this, if one of your first pieces is wrong, the project comes to a grinding halt. Lsts put it this way the final stage was 360 hours.

    It still is an engineering feat non the less.
