    wow!! i'd be skeptical before booking a room at this place, they probably require guests to bring their own support columns and $hit

    Pre engineered building so all the pieces came in big sections which were fabricated off site so that definately cut down on the on site workload and 7 cranes on one job site is 3 times what you would normally see but 6 days is still impressive nonetheless.

            The contractor got the job on a fixed fee. It doesn't matter if he finishes in 6 days or 60 days. He will still get paid the lump sum fee. By doing it faster he generates more profit. Capitalism is alive and well in China.

                          Six days? One earthquake and it will come down in under 6 seconds.

                            actually the article i got this from says that the building can withstand earthquakes with a magnitude of 9.0 on the richter scale

                                  Wow so many structural engineers in this forum. No wonder work has been slowed down a bit lately.

                                    We (the USA) could easily build a 15 story hotel in 6 days.

                                    Luckily, we actually have building codes, and prefer safety of people over being talked bout in the news for something "cool".

                                            Exactly. It makes a big difference when you just have to put it together on site rather then build it. Even the interior walls were pre built panels. Its still impressive. Having everything on site or arrive on site in time. Getting all the interior panels to each of the 15 floors, electrical work and so on.

                                            Doing the landscaping in 6 days would be tough to do.

                                                amazing. i went to china 3 years ago in some city nearby shanghai because my friend's family owns a place there. last summer i went again with my girlfriend. the same city was SOOO different. soo many skyscrapers and malls springing out of no where in the last 3 years.


                                                amazing progress they are making over there.

                                                        True. The problem is, based on the historical and demographic factors, couple of dozen people wasted here and there seem like a non-factor.

                                                        Who am I to judge... May be it is not... I just think it is...

                                                          most of the buildings built in china are laced with ASBESTOS

                                                          they are going to have a major problem dealing with that, but as data noted a few hundred thousand lives in exchange for progress is nothing to them

                                                          it is the wild west of the new millennium, anything in return for profits, they were selling baby milk laced with carcinogens , and they were just caught again doing it a few weeks ago. they put the first group of guys to death already.

My opinion is based on so many of the things we buy being made in China, which led me to consider...When the US was the major producer of goods during and after the industrial revolution, we built the worlds strongest military with our wealth. I saw no reason why China would not do the same. My observation actually has affected how I make decisions in my life, but that is a story for another day! Good Day and Good Luck Men.
