A Chinese construction company that has mastered the art of 'instant' building says it will soon be able to put up six storeys in just 24 hours.
Innovative flat pack techniques recently allowed Broad Sustainable Building to finish this three-storey workers' cafeteria in little more than a week.
Now the man behind it, CEO Zhang Yue, wants to build a 220-storey skyscraper, potentially the world's tallest, in just four months.
If he realises this ambition it will dwarf the Shard in London - Europe's tallest building - and put its completion time of more than three years to shame.
Under conventional methods the low-carbon canteen would have taken a year to complete, but here even the nine days it took to finish the building,
in the city of Yueyang, in Hunan province, was considered a missed target.
This is par for the course for BSB, which conjured a 30-storey hotel in the same city over the course of just 15 days in December.
The concept is based on factory-made 'modules', which include all the necessary pipes and cables before they are slotted into place. This means more
than 90 per cent of the work is done before the builders even arrive on site.
BSB's feats have won the company fame online, with a time-lapse video of the T30 Hotel project attracting nearly five millions views.
