Pretty Much Everywhere In Town You Go,

there will be a building being constructed,


some of these projects appear to take years from start to finish, but there is a quicker way to construct a building, enter Broad Sustainable Building Co., LTD that specialises in factory-made skyscrapers and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Broad Group, so what kind of a building are we talking about? how about one that is 57-storeys high, ‘Sky City’, is located in Changsha city, it comprises 800 homes and office space to accommodate a total of 4,000 people, the company’s original proposal for the site was actually a 97-storey building that would have been one of the world’s largest skyscrapers, but just after 20 stories were completed, construction work was stopped for one year because local officials wanted to review the plans, ultimately, they had to reduce the plan to 57 stories due to the building’s close proximity to the airport, so how long did the construction take? just 19 days, yes you read that right, just 19 days to complete, so disregarding the major delay where work was halted, the entire construction from start to finish was completed in less than three weeks of work,



the 4-minute clip shows employees building each storey offsite and delivering it to the location, a timelapse sequence shows the assembling of the mammoth building in which it was built at a rate of three floors per day, amazing!
