Yes, you read that right: SIX DAYS! Check this out:

Chinese workers build 15-story hotel in just six days | The Upshot Yahoo! News

There's a time-lapse video on this article page that shows the construction from day one to day six! Incredible!

I wonder how long until the headlines about it falling down.

Or rather, how long until the headline that Walmart is now selling prefab real estate.

would have taken them 6 years over here if this were a government project

Damn that was nuts. The video showing it is awesome.

Well yeah, if you were to construct a fisher price model hotel, sure. Besides they're Chinese. I bet they didn't even sleep and worked over the course of a week. Or they hired 5x the amount of employees yet costing 50% of the cost of American workers.

Yeah I was reading something about it somewhere how they would start at 4am and wouldn't stop until 10pm, so don't expect to see this happening in other parts of the world soon.

Despite the cynicism in my previous post, this is indeed impressive and they say it's actually sturdy and would meet all the requirements if it were built here in the US and it even has resistance to quakes. That's cool, but it just won't happen here because workers have rights. But I do think it's evidence that we could be more time and cost efficient in building.

There should be some sort of upper limit where the benefits have diminishing returns, but we can do it with just more people.

I've been putting off washing my car for the past week. Now I feel really guilty.

It's amazing what a man can do when the life of his family depends on it.

This is proof that there are actually many good, worthwhile benefits of crack.

They probably started work on another building on the seventh day.

Idk, sounds more like an amphetamine-thing to do

As someone currently living in an apartment complex undergoing massive construction/renovation, I'd just like to say that this is the most amazing thing EVER. The estimated completion time for phase one of the construction project at my complex is 5 months. 5 MONTHS! For phase ONE!!

This is seriously what I wake up to every morning:
