2 Stories a Day



This video, which I found on LiveLeak.com shows the construction of a pre-fab, 30 story building in the Chinese province of Hunan being constructed in 15 days. That's right - half a month. For 30 stories. As a member of the construction world, of course it is intriguing, but! How is that possible? What's the catch?

After watching the video and reading a few articles (like this and this), it's pretty clear that there is no 'catch:' the structure itself took 15 days to construct. Sitework, foundation, and pre-fabrication (which probably took FOREVER) are not in this timespan. It's still pretty neat to see though. I am interested in knowing the manpower that was able to complete this on time...
