A hotel in China (Changsa) which boasts 16 floors and a helipad has been built in under six days using pre-fabricated parts.
The 50m (164 ft) hotel is soundproofed, thermal-insulated and is built to withstand a magnitude nine earthquake. Developer Broad Sustainable Building put together the parts first at a factory and then assembled the sections on site in a method similar to the prefab homes of post-war Europe.
Despite the pace of the construction, there were no injuries reported and, thanks to the prefab nature of the process, very few construction materials were wasted.
