Real Estate Fact: Builders in China can erect a thirty-story skyscraper in just fifteen days!

Expanded Fact: cnet.com reports that a Chinese company, Broad Group, erected a thirty-story skyscraper hotel in just 15 days in January of 2013. The company accomplished some of their time savings by using pre-fabricated sections of the building and shipping them in for assembly on site. Zhang Yue, the man behind the project, claims that the super-fast build saved not just time and money, but saved resources and reduced waste. The company also claims the building is rated for a 9.0 level earthquake. Quite an accomplishment for 15 days!

Fun Fact: Here’s a link to the video of the 15 days of building!
