This hospital is temporary. It doesn't need to be high quality, because it doesn't need to last, and its purpose is to be better than nothing. Most buildings take longer, because they're intended to last, and because they don't have such enormous crews working on them (which costs a lot). Some of the processes in this live stream don't seem especially safe to my non-expert eye either (I'm thinking of the cranes and diggers quickly moving big heavy swinging things; in NZ I've only seen that done with extra people manning guide cables to keep the movement slow and controlled).
- animal531 7y agoTrue, but from looking at some videos of generic apartment buildings in China the overall building quality seems to be quite poor already.
