holy fuck they had like 10 cranes going at once your lucky to see 2 or 3 going at once in canada |
A lot of the comments from some users here aren't getting the point. The highlight of the video has nothing to do with cheap labour and hardwork, it's about the prefab process. Think of it like ikea furniture, it's all made with holes/screws included and if you could put together a lego set as a kid you could easily put together a piece of their furniture. It saves space and materials but also ultimately money to do it this way, rather than to have a regular furniture store stock furniture that's pre assembled. As long as you properly design something so that your average joe could figure out, time can be saved dramatically and a lot of stress. It's very cost effective to do things this way and it's not the concept of cheap/fast chinese work that the story is about. |
in canada it woulda taken them 4 months to build that thing |

. cool but no thanks.... not sure about many of you but I for one wouldn't wanna live in or own something I wouldn't feel safe inside regardless of how fast it will get built. |
chinese ppl are amazing |

Excatly, also it does a lot less harm to the environment. |

you can tell people in china work efficiently just from the roads. instead of digging up the old road and repave and all that (for example 41st ave right now) in china they have pieces of the roads already made (like lego pieces) and they simply just take out the old road and put in the new piece. job done fast and efficiently and they also work at night when traffic is low. whereas in canada they work during rushhours :rolleyes: |

As for working at night time, it's not like they don't do that here. Sure, it's usually on roads like Hwy1 and 99, but that's because if you did road work on something like W41 you'd get a thousand complaints from home owners about the noise. |
Most people are making judgments about the building merely because it was built fast. Built fast does not constitute engineered poorly. They are not the same thing. |

you know how precise each one of those sections has to be to make a squared building? pre-engineered metal framing HERE has a shit load of problems if not installed right, not to mention other pre-fabbed stuff like truss's etc. if they are not meticulously installed, your whole house is out of wack and walls and ceilings run into angled corners etc. I'd say it's fairly safe to say that yes, this building is infact built poorly, the argument whether it's structurally sound or not is another matter, but imo to put together 16 stories over 6 days, theres no way in hell the time was spent on each floor to make sure you are level etc. one floor in that building 1/8th of an inch off, causes the whole building to be off, and the frame being installed over 6 days doesn't have any additional flex or settlement once 15+ more stories are installed on top of it shortly after? shit is garbage holmes |

The fact is, we have no idea how theses modular pieces were designed. What if the building is structurally sound? We have no engineering data at all so all we can do is speculate. Quote:

that's pretty cool. They should film more structures being built like that. |
BWAHAHAHAHA................ I had one of those reading fail moments. I saw the caption on the youtube video and thought I saw, "Ark Hotel Time Colapse Building 15 S..." |
this reminds me of warcraft or starcraft. build your shit up quickly before others and then once it's finished, start attacking people who are way behind. |

N, it just makes me feel good that this place isn't completely filled with complete morons. There are of course a few exceptions :rolleyes: |
reminds me of a national geographic show that was on the other day where they showed the construction of some olympic buildings in China the bracing posts that they were installing some were too short; some didn't arrive; some weren't structurally sound for the short ones they just jacked them up with some o-rings until they were the same height as the others -_- |
hmm.... it doesnt look strong... but time is money, right? |
