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.
