mattx Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Een dag niet gelachen, is een dag niet geleefd Chinese hotel built in 6 days ! :: Badrlampard8 :: Zideo - video kijken - delen en geld verdienen
jamesreedersmith Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Impressive - now if they can work out a way of doing motorway roadworks this quick that would help us all.
bladedanny Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 There'll be a bolt missing somewhere then! That's why it took six days rather than five, they had to wait for the little 'Sorry we weren't there to start with' bag.
GREED Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Question is, can it all be put together with just a screwdriver???
bladedanny Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Question is, can it all be put together with just a screwdriver??? You mean an allen key and a little flimsy spanner they send?
GREED Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 You mean an allen key and a little flimsy spanner they send? Well yes, but I ignore that and use a decent tool that doesn't rip your hands to shreads. Forget bolts, it will be 2 inch dowl!
sister_annex Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Looks like a giant Mecano set Pretty impressive though - Only the Chinese would be able to pull something like this off though lol
bladedanny Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Forget bolts, it will be 2 inch dowl! Made me lol.
MK-2 Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) Chinese hotels - trying to be on par with God since 2010 That'd be one hell of a 60 minute makeover episode "you wanted your tired old kitchen updating and your bedroom painted......well our Chinese workers have decided **** that and have built you your own office block. Jamie, your room is on the 15th floor" Edited November 15, 2010 by MK-2
Dos_Box Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 If it was safe to build that fast, we in the west would have been doing it long ago. A major problem they've had in China with teh high deathtoll in earthquakes in recent years has been down to construction methods being employed out there. From shanty like properties to new office buildings the level of planning and care taken is not even half that that we in the west use. India too suffers from a similar problem with project management and elf'n'saftey being non-existant on many construction (The commonwealth games anyone?) projects. They are doing the modern day equivilent of what Victorian house builders did 150 years ago when creating many workers homes. Get it up quick and hope it lasts.

I know a few building firms in this country that have the same mentality!

Sorry are you describing Eastern buildings or BSF?
gwendes Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I hate to be pedantic (well, I don't really!) but it may have been assembled in six days but that's only the very last stage of construction. The build may have started months before where each panel and frame was welded etc... On site time is low but total time prob = normal.
tech_guy Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 And it still takes a British builder a month to build a small extension to a house ffs!
