You have to be kidding! Build a fifteen story hotel in six days that is impossible. Well not in China. Six days equals one hotel. You have to take a look at this time lapse photography. We have a building that is taking almost two years to build just a roof, it's called B.C. place. Could you send over your Chinese work crew. So what do you think? - Наука та технологія
Just imagine that living in there, gone away for a week long holiday and come back to find a 15 storey tower built in your absence...
The person who gone before the construction: "Yooooo pick me up, i'm at the the third xxxx building right after the t-junction"
Cab driver : aye2 capt.
After the the junction : "ayoo hold up, why do you drive me in the wrong street bruv, my house is in the yyyyy street's and in the building in the exact third building after the t-junction."
Cab driver : "this is the third building right after t-juction. Or you mean the building is in THAT building after this building is where you want to go to?"
The person : *CONFUSED LOOKS*

In my country they took 6 days fixing a hole in the highway 😆
fuck here in america I called the city and complained about a pothole in the street and 6 months it still is not fixed
Mine still more than a year
My country it would take 2 years and half of the country's budget 😂😂
That's a quantity over quality building right there
This building was built back in 2010... It's still standing to this day.
You are one of the most fair reporters. Keep up with your good work
Thank you for your video, I am Chinese and living in Vancouver now. Actually those Chinese workers have used 4 months to do the concrete foundation and 12 days to build(or assembled) 57 stories. With other 7 raining days they can't work, so the total is 19 days.
heres the trick. All pre-fabrication was done earlier and fully prepared, then the Builders just install them.
Realy???
true but it is very effective
That true but is is still suprising.. in some countries they build same house in four years....
Huff House worth looking at in this regard
@black arrow because most others don't have the workforce of qualified construction workers who can do this it's pretty simple.
Chinese people really work hard! Amazing and respect!
That's a great job on putting up a frame of prefab materials. If they did the pluming, havac, electrical..etc in that time that would be truly amazing. Could someone please fine out when it opened and who is staying there cause the Chinese are notorious for building stuff no one uses
+bowers4oven The Plumbing, HVAC and electrical along with furnishings and drywall were all done at the same time. They were ready for occupants upon completion of the building.
what material u have used for wall and how it got installed easily ?
I'm Chinese. I went back to my high school 2 years after my graduation. I couldn't believe my eyes, since all the previously empty places around my high school are full of tall buildings now. It's very scary. Everywhere is changing lightning-fast in China...
This is absolutely AMAZING!!!
It takes 18 months for a hotel to open in the United States with a lot less stories than that.
Amazing footage! We Americans have so much "red-tape" to go through, when it comes to building projects!
It's for quality reasons
That was pretty amazing. Kind of reminds me of put-together-yourself furniture. With a lot of pre-fab parts and planning, you can build some pretty nice things quickly. Maybe they'll start selling 15-story building kits. (It'd be interesting to see how the building faired in fire/electrical/structural safety tests & standards.)
To those who thinks this is some sort of unreliable or unfair comparison - KEEP thinking that way please. Keep thinking that you are far more superior and the rest of the world is simple and naive. You will live a lot happier until you wanna get out there and take a look one day ... Good luck!
True !!! I was 10 years in china, and the only thing i can think of...
We talk ,blahblahblah about it, they just do it !!!
Brandon Zhu All of the building elements are prefabricated, meaning they were built in a factory and brought to site! So it is an unfair comparison.
Whichever country that was invaded in the history of the world was not fair. Your salary and wages relative to anyone else is not a fair comparison. There is no benchmark buddy. There is only done, and not done.
in romania we did this things 30 years ago, 8 floor concrete construction done in gest 30 days, everything was casted in special factorys and then was mountetd on site . my apartment is still standing :)
Unde?
30 years ago bro,when the things were done correctly and accurate.Unlike now.
I don't know why YT recommended this 11 years later, but I hope the old guy is doing good
Well done and a good job they show that the impossible is possible and can get done ....
Gotta love that tofu dreg construction.
I think its more like, assembled in 6days...
Yep not not built.
Yea a jigsaw puzzel--------all the pieces cut and fitted
Yes, prefabricated pieces. Still the logistics is amazing.
But really i feel like it's an awesome method that we need to use alot more
Incredible!!
Pretty amazing! :0)
worse part about this building technique is that structural integrity decreases really fast! plus, you will start seeing wall and ceiling cracks on the inside in a few months or so.
A restaurant chain built a test Building in a warehouse over a few months, and trucked it up to a town near us in 4 pieces on 4 trucks. It was assembled on site in about 4 days and were serving meals in a week. Not a McD or Burker King, a full service restaurant serving real meals.
For everyone saying the pre fabrication process took a lot of time, heres reality. It's STILL FASTER even counting the fabrication time. The parts and building blocks are mass produced on assembly lines and then sold to all sorts of building companies, unlike the US where cement is poured in and you gotta wait for all this stuff. Approving the building is also a lot faster without needing a million permissions and signed contracts like in the US. The contractor in charge of the building don't have to manufacturer most of the blocks used for assembly, they just buy it and ship it. Plus, building in the US also takes fabricated beams, concrete blocks, etc too!
Basically you don't have to deny the truth. You might have some pride in your country and think this is just a bunch of hoax and lies but China decided to adapt a new style of building thats faster and more efficient and ahead of many countries and sooner or later countries will start to catch up and adapt the same style of building.
1000% agree... I'm not chinese ... China truely dragon now...
amazing!
Awesome Job... thats a lot of manpower.
HoIey Mother of Magarette ! ! ! That was some of the BEST buiIding buiIding music I have EVER HEARD ! ! !
THANKS mon, tanks a Iot ! ! !
Don't be too carried away by this. In 1942 the Americans turned the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown round after she suffered major battle damage (she was towed into port with a 30 degree list) after the Battle of the Coral Sea and she sailed out fully repaired in 48 (that's right 48) hours. She fought in but was also tragically sunk in the battle of Midway after suffering several direct bomb hits. Amazing what you can do with an unlimited budget and a desire to complete the task quickly.
...and i'm still waiting on my laundry
AWESOME
it was mostly metal. No concrete was used for the structure, i think.
it is possible because the materials that they used are already pre-fabricated before it is actually delivered to the construction site, so the workers will just assemble and fix it. It makes the work much easier. But i think 90% of the building structural frame are made of steel, instead of using concrete so they didnt have to wait for it to dry up, like what other traditional buildings were made of. In Dubai, I think they are also making buildings in a span of one year, but has a different building techniques.
+Russel James Velasco The Empire State Building was built with the steel prefabricated. The steel was manufactured in Pittsburgh, formed into columns and beams, and shipped to New York to be put into place although it was still too hot to handle without thick gloves.
+Russel James Velasco in dubai they use slaves
Wow! I salute the Chinese..incredible work ethic..
I hate when people actually think the Chinese can complete a building in 6 days. Took much longer than 6 days to build. The foundations are poured weeks earlier cause concrete has to set before stresses are added to it. The modules are prefabbed for months. The interior finish out was going on for a couple months after the core and shell was completed. The core and shell took 6 days but the construction took months.
The pieces are already make you just need assemble them like a giant puzzle
The renovation project (~85 million C$)of Sauder School of Business in UBC started 3 years and 4 months ago and it is still half-done now...
I'm an Architect and to say that the building in the video was constructed in only 6 days was a complete bull crap. Firstly, preparation alone to prepare(concrete slab to put on those steel column) and layout the site would take a month. Then after building the building itself which is 6 days according to video, they will aloted at least 6 months for wiring the electrical/communication system, mechanical/heating ventilating airconditioning, finishing the exterior then interior then,landscasping.
Built in a week? I question its safety.
this video doesn't include the foundation laying part but only the actual building process..however, still very impressive!
It's amazing.
Chinese way always make me surprised.
It's similar with assembly for TV or Cellar phone.
I hope it has an elevator.
They have coolies carry you up the stairs in a chair.
djbenzo feeling superior huh? too much time spent playing lego perhaps. Give credit where credit is due.
Don't get all butthurt mamaguevo. It's a prefab build. I'm just wondering if it has an elevator. Do you know?
lol, this is awesome
in briton we take 6 days to put road works sign :D
To be precise, it should say the building was raised or put together in 6 days (rather than built) because it did not take into account the no. of days the prefab slabs that were made in the factory and the days laying the ground foundation. Still it's pretty awesome that they can put them together within 6 days round the clock.
exactly and there is more ua-cam.com/video/N6f_sayw0mM/v-deo.html
Doug Coy is incorrect. It has NOT taken 2 years to put the roof on. Work was begun when the roof was delated in May 2010, 2.5 months after the 2010 Winter Olympics, and THAT was just over 1 year ago. The stadium will be finished summer 2011, and will be used for The Grey Cup Game this fall.
Those parts are pre-assembled and it would be more than 6 days if you count that in
It looks cool and all, but I would have to know a whole lot more about the construction techniques used before making a final judgment. It looked to me like they were joining prefab girder sections with bolts which from an engineering perspective might look good on paper, but I would be greatly interested in seeing how the structure holds up over time.
is about steel and glass. Emperor state building is an example of that. and there are even more to that 57 storeys in 19 days. ua-cam.com/video/N6f_sayw0mM/v-deo.html
I'm happy to see from the comments that other people have noticed that it actually took far longer to fabricate the pre-assembled bits off site and then move them into place.
The assembly bit is neat though, I'll grant you that..
good thing they made a whole bunch that is ready to go right away oh wait maybe people already noticed that?! It just shows how china moves forward in finding ways to accomplish the job ahead of some. Can't really comment the integrity of their structure but seems to be very promising.
It took me 1 hr to build IKEA furniture that would have took me 2 days to build my own cabinet. Assembling in 6 days is still impressive.
It is undoubtedly amazing; an incredibly efficient process. However, I think it would be easier to make a hotel than to make a sliding roof simply because with the hotel, once you have one story, you just mass produce that story and keep stacking. It would take a less cookie-cutter approach to make a mechanical roof.
Amazing build nonetheless.
Takes about two weeks to prefabricate it.
It's amazing but look up how long the empire state building in new York took to build now that's REALLY amazing
what’s the name of the hotel again?..ya i will never stay in a 6 day built hotel..it would take longer to inspect it.
It takes me that long just to put a Lego building together.
@roybofmn nice way to break it down. At the same time, I'd invite you to search for an example of the same thing happening anywhere else at that rate. Prefabricated components yes or no. I take your point about it being a box, but you'll also find with a little research that construction time isn't vastly impacted by the question of box: yes or no. Interview a professional in the fields of either architecture or construction - they'll find that rate of work staggering as well.
They don't call it smog city for no reason
Hats off to the only 15 storey hotel with no lift👍
Although I do have one serious question now - having looked at the "time-lapse" footage again. Why is it light at the 0-hour mark, and dark at the 24 hour mark? If it's broad daylight they started at 8am on Monday, 24 hours later it's 8am on a Tuesday - and then 24 hours later (48 hours mark) it's already light again... Barring an eclipse or something else, that implies the timer is either too fast (unlikely) or there's some faking going on.
Consider about the blocks that they are fixing. The time taken by the blocks/ walls would be more. And if we consider about all the time from the scratch, the time taken will be more only. it's not gr8 thing. But we can appreaciate their way of work.
I guess all the time spent for prefab offsite doesn't count. Or the site enabling, concrete pours, and other processes that can't be sped up by piling on the cheap labor. Also, apparently start up, commissioning and inspections were not required?
we have the organization, efficiency, money and man power
This company is private Chinesse enterprise. I saw the 6 story one in their campus
@unicechen123
was well read. n thanks for the suggestion
yes the put it up in 6 days but worked in a factory for 1. year to get everything pre fab
good!
even my home work is not finished under 6 days☹️
no reinforce concrete?
What you don't see is the behind the scenes prep work and modularization that went into this project. No earthworks or concrete, no interior or finishing work. The 6 days was 24/6 (18 normal working days at 8 hours per day or 3.5 normal working weeks) and only included erection time. But still impressive in any case.
This building was assembled in 6 days. It was not built in six days. To stick build this you must include all of the pre assembly.
the prefabrication factory is huge with abundance of manpower. as long as design is conventional everything is fast.
Do you take into account the time it takes to manufacture cement too in traditional buildings or glass panes ??
Give them credit where credit is due. Others can prefabricate ahead of time too. But no one does things like they do. And that is the truth.
PlanetHarley why not count the days needed to manufacture steel and cement lol. give credit where credit is due.
PlanetHarley yes so it is BUILT in six days
Anyone who knows construction well and isn't "close-minded" of course, knows that this is for real.
6 days to put up this 15 storey eyesore?
I agree with SWDYTHINK that taking 2 years to build a roof, no matter how complicated and sophisticated it can be, is a tad too long. :-) In this case, it means the workers are really their own sweet time to get the roof job done.
@chemical2romance well, that law is probably the least kept one there is
lots of chinese migrant workers are farmers, they just don't enforce those laws to any extent
They also had an apartment collapse. It was NEW.
In my country the government is taking 15 years and it isn’t finish as yet
they already p remade the floors so it should be easy to just stack and blot them together
ASSEMBLING a 15 storey hotel
power of collectivism
Any idea what is the name of that chinese company ?
does this include fitout?
how long did it take to manufacture in the factory?, they used 5 cranes etc to speed it up,must have been pricey, still vnice
Still they did it fast and that is an achievement. No doubt they could also do it in North America to demonstrate just how fast a Box Building can be erected.
Always remember that nearly all of the technology and the origins of all that technology came from or currently comes from the West.Rememeber that New York City during the 1920's had hundreds of buildings over 40 stories high considered skyscrapers at the time. The Chinese are finally catching up..but still have a long way to go.
wondered how much this cost? any one know that?
Amazingly fast
this is gest a big lego, everything was made before and mounted on site, dry wals, steel structure , windows etc...
every materials was pre made in factories
@Moscovo This is a hotel.
No elevator?
How many man-hours are included in 6 days? Did they build a hotel in just 1440 man-hours? I guess it was the construction crew of ten workers and of course, they didn't work overtime? They didn't have their own David Podmore. Btw all parts are made remotely and delivered to the site and put together by site crew.
@ProjectRedPill1 Well said!!
Does any company build this fast in the U.S.?
It took longer than 6 days to build it they had to prefab all the sections first then transport them over there and pour the concrete in the foundation
Since I live in Canada I can easily say they are the slowest builders ever.
I guess part of the reason they use 5 guys to finish the whole thing, so to speak
terexmechanic: Sorry you are wrong about the the Empire State building being constructed at 1 floor per day....it was 1 floor per week on the average....but still in the 1920's that was great achievement.
yes , it`s true
How quickly could they build 100 aircraft carriers to be staffed by UAVs operated by pilots on shore with most of the carrier operartions handled by robots?
Who is in charge??? Bob The Builder?
By the time it took them to build this another 100 billion of them were born; and only 2 million can fit into the hotel..
Eh, make mine a Chicken with Green pepper and Black Bean sauce..
Why any investor can,t start this system here in Vancouver BC.Give us any related information please.Keep up up loading.
