The modules were assembled off-site, and delivered in sequence, for final assembly onsite.
But I haven’t heard of any further news from the company (BSB I think), for a few years, that I assume the government must’ve shut down their business model. Perhaps for poor quality, or for design defects. But the construction technique is probably worthy of further study and refinement.

- Retric 7y agoI would swap that wording, the modules where constructed offsite and assembled in 15 days on a pre built foundation. But it’s unclear when construction began and the video hit 360 hours before it finished, making this even less interesting. Also, by comparison the 102 story Empire State Building took 410 days to construct in the 1930’s including the foundation. So under the most generous assumptions it’s about 8x as fast.
