It took 15 days for the final construction. Most of the building was prefabricated off site. Any ideas how long this stage took?

- Codhisattva 15y agoYeah, it's a bit deceptive to say "15 days to build". The modules surely took less than time than building from scratch, but still a significant amount of time.
- rabble 15y agoYeah, kind of like saying you have to count all the time spent on ruby, rails, and all the gems you're using when you do Rails Rumble. Making construction modular and plug and play is a hugely important innovation.
- Codhisattva 15y agoTrue but nothing new. We've had it in the US for decades for all types of construction.
- mousa 15y agoAs quick as you're willing to pay for it because prefabricated stuff can be done in parallel.
- kokey 15y agoI think a more important question to me is how much does the prefabricated parts already contain, as in does it make the construction complete. Usually the walls, roof, windows and doors are fairly quick and easy to get in, the other half of the cost goes into the rest of the detail. This includes carpets, light fittings, plugs, plumbing, tiles, carpets, cupboards, curtain rails, kitchen bits, skirting boards, toilets, towel rails, etc. and all the labour involved in setting that all up. I can see great potential gains in doing this off site in an assembly line type fashion instead of inside of a building.
