For an upcoming episode of the Construction Industry Podcast, I’ll interview the people behind this amazing feat of engineering: a high rise hotel in China that was built in only 15 days, from foundation to the 30th floor.
What would YOU like to ask them? Let me know and I’ll try to sneak in your question during the interview!
Check out the video below:
BenAdamSmith says
Did they build it at this speed for the publicity? I doubt you’d be interviewing them if the same building had taken 9 months!
cesarabeid says
@BenAdamSmith It has certainly helped with publicity. It’s a great question and I’ll try to sneak it in there. I’m overwhelmed by the amount of feedback I’m getting on this, especially on LinkedIn. Everybody wants to know in detail how they did this!
Mark Giltsoff says
What did the learn for the next project?
Mark Giltsoff says
What did they learn for the next project?
How much more cost effective can the next project be?
Is this a sustainable business?
Sorry more that one question
cesarabeid says
@Mark Giltsoff Thanks Mark! I’m overwhelmed by the amount of questions I’ve been getting, both here and on LinkedIn. I’m organizing all questions into main topics so I can be prepared when I have them on the line for the interview. Thanks for your input!
michael lyons says
Mark, incredible speed/execution. How much planning time went into the building/HVAC, materials and structural implementation during preliminary /pre-planning? It’s impressive on the back end, 15 days, how much additional time pre-planning?
Did preliminary/design pre-planning the building the total building costs? How much existing Green standards were used versus developed specifically for the building? Most critical, saftey standards for materials and execution of installation! How did they monitor, effectively? Appreciate your efforts.
Regards.

@michael lyons Thanks Michael for the feedback. I am in the process of scheduling the interview now and I’ll try to add some of your questions into the interview. Let me know how to contact you when the interview is published!

I really am speechless, how amazing that they could build that in 15 days!

@jan de graaf I know, I am speechless too!
Lisa Doris says
I would like to know when the inspections took place. How safe is this building?

cesarabeid says
@Lisa Doris Interesting post, Lisa – thanks for sharing. I guess it’s hard to gauge how safe buildings are when they’re being judged by different standards from country to country. I’m going to ask them about this during my interview (still working out the details on when it’ll happen). Thanks for the awesome input!
Robert Grosek says
@Lisa Doris It reminds me of the history of the building of the transcontinental railway in the US……how shoddy the initial work was motivated solely by payment on the basis of production…….
Robert Grosek says
How big was the Punch List?
davidroberts says
Real questions are how long for the following
Design
Procurement
Material Delivery
PAU (Pre assembled units) Construction
Delivery to site
The actual assembly period excluding the foundations and running serevices in is not that long given unlimited and skilled labour.
I have worked in China
Trust this proves of use

@davidroberts David, thanks for that insight. You are right, it took a bit longer than the 15 days when you add it all up.I’ve already recorded the interview and will be publishing it in the next few weeks. It was quick but I got to ask some of the questions you and a bunch of others had.
Thanks for your input. Are you still working in construction now? Where?
Have a great day!
DevMody says
The project is obviously a marvel in Building Design and Construction Planning. Planning and sourcing the right kind of Prefabricated components, including the foundation piles and evolving a connection system for all the components, etc. all may have taken anywhere between 60 to 90 days and getting all the components at site ‘Just in Time’. Where there is a will, there is a way.
cesarabeid says
@DevMody Very true. Here’s the link to the interview (I just published it last week):http://remontech.com/041
I’d love your feedback!
galenikolaidis says
Ben had a point. Did they construct it only at that speed for that publicity? And is it really safe I think doesn’t have a strong foundation. Thanks for sharing. <a href=”http://www.dieselcatbogota.com”>kobelco colombia</a>
cesarabeid says
@galenikolaidis Thanks for that! It turns out that, according to them, this is a very safe building. I published my interview with them here: http://remontech.com/041
