16-Storey Hotel Build in Six Days


Watch as workers in China build The New Ark Hotel, breaking construction records by starting with an empty plot in Changsha and leaving the site with a 50m tall building in just 136 hours.

Developer Broad Sustainable Building, who worked until 10pm each night, say the five days and 16 hour construction time is thanks to the use of pre-fabricated parts.

The frame of the 50m building - which is built to withstand a magnitude nine earthquake - took just 46 hours to put together, with the building enclosure taking another 90.
