57 story building constructed in just 19 days!
-
I think the UK could solve its housing problems by moving to a pre-fabricated housing solution, and without a loss of quality and longevity. It would also complement the lower skill set found amonsgt UK bulders, a consequence of abandoning the scheme of construction apprenticeships.
Ground settlement and subsidence would be less of an issue for a 3 storey house than for a 57 storey apartment block. Presumably the off-site cast concrete parts have gone through their 28 cure cycle and so the 19 days claim belies the time taken to fabricate the kit of parts. Even so, it is an efficient and impressive method of construction.
