Chinese firm The Broad Group – the company that wowed the construction world last year when it build a 16-storey residential block in just five days – has done it again.

This time, the company has constructed a 30-storey, 17,000m² hotel tower on the shores of the Dongting Lake in China’s Hunan Province in just 15 days.

The building has been designed to withstand magnitude 9 earthquakes and is claimed to be five times more energy efficient than standard towers, both in construction and materials used, and in the energy required to maintain and run the building.

I think the story featuring the 15 day construction focuses on the fa?ade and structure but not the whole engineering system including ID and MEP. I don?t believe that the MEP including the ID will be finished at that speedy construction. Just my thought.

High-Speed Building Assembly - The Main Keys
Planning: Layouts, construction sequence, cranage - all down to the finest detail before any site work starts Standardization: Room layouts, services layouts - minimizes production variants Prefabrication: As much fit-out and finishing work as possible done off site Accuracy: Near-zero production tolerances to minimize or eliminate on-site adjustment, just leaving bolted joints and services connections Training: So that the on-site construction teams are as well coordinated as workers on an automobile production line Did anyone note / am I right in saying that the central tower crane appeared to have been left in place to act as a BMU?

30 storey building in 360 hours
I would be glad to know the time it took for the designs (architectural,estimates, civil, services and environmental impact assessment etc)to be completed as well as the expected lifespan of the building.

30 storey building in 360 hours
I would like to know the real cost between this and a conventional build ? Including for time saved on site, but allowing for time not shown at the manufacturing facilities which must have begun before site construction.
