So when the building was complete, what were the final costs relative to an equivalent steel and concrete structure? The video said construction took 9-1/2 weeks but there was a lot of pre-planning, mock ups, etc. that wouldn't have necessarily been needed for the steel version. Those extra costs need to be factored in as well, at least until enough experience has been gathered to no longer require it.
