Wow, this will be impressive if they can pull it off. The fact that BSB was able to construct a 15 story hotel in 15 days proves that it is indeed possible. Pre-fabricated construction is definitely the future, I love how the pieces seem to just snap securely onto the frame.

There will be sceptics, but China is probably the only real country innovating in the construction sector. That hotel is 9 magnitude earthquake resistant. It's a rare 100 year event that an earthquake ever gets past 5.6/6 on the Richter scale (the 2011 Japanese earthquake was a 9).

Seeing articles like this make me excited for the future.
