    This is kinda misleading, more like assembled in 15 days, everything is prefab. Those 15 days pale in comparison to the time it took for the drawings and fabrication. That being said, it is very impressive.

        would've done it in no time.... with no union or bureaucracy to deal with.
        a lot cheaper too
        exactly what i was thinking. jus get a bunch of illegals lined up at home depot and pay them 10/hour. all profit, problem solved.

Rig the mod up & land it. Throw a few bolts in & they lift the next mod. Now if there was a tank or something they had to build around then 15 days ain't happening. This is not that big a deal...
              They assembled it all within the 15 days bro....

                Didn't realize it's a hotel. I'll watch it after work. It's all concrete slabs...no problem doing it...all steel then you need huge laydown, etc...Pour & lift, pour & lift...all the plumbing, electrical still all has to be done...it can be done...there is still lots of interior work to be done

                    Lol! Just watched the video...everything is typical & preassembled...that is an easy building to stand. Not impressed at all. That is no big feat. We are watching it at work. Big sections that are typical. This is a standard building. Actually it's really basic. It's like building Lego...lol! What is the fuss about?

                      they did not assemble it in 15 days! they erected it in 15 days...all the plumbing, electrical,etc was built beforehand & they just erected them in module sections. typical columns & bracing all the way up the building. no obstruction, a massive laydown area, no city permits needed, no street closures, nothing hindering the erection of this building. this is as easy as it gets. all the modules were fabricated & put together either in a module facility(construction yard) or in a large factory. THIS WAS NOTHING MORE THEN MODULE ERECTION! it's like building lego. try doing this in winter with 50mile\hr winds or building it downtown. this is as ideal of conditions as it can get. big frigging deal...i have assembled cranes that took 18 days to put together. this is not some sort of amazing feat at all...
