China is well known for its speedy construction processes. From building a 1,000-bed, 25,000-square-meter hospital in nine days in light of the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 to putting together livable spaces in just one day, the Asian nation is the place to be for fast construction.  

And it’s not stopping anytime soon. Now, a seven-story hotel in the city of Zhuhai in China has been put together in just 12 days.

The construction company behind the project is China State Construction, which was exploring its maximal information coefficient (MIC) technology to see how quickly, and safely, it could erect a building. 

So how exactly do you put together a full-blown, functional hotel in less than two weeks?

You build most of it in a factory, that’s how. But in a little more depth explaining its method, the construction company stated about 80 percent of the on-site procedures in the traditional construction process were actually moved to its automated intelligent factory. This way, construction accuracy and quality were improved, and on-site labor and danger were minimized. 

The parts of the model building were made in a standardized design, in the automated factory, with integrated decoration. 

And as can be seen in the YouTube video below, once on the construction site, the parts and components of the building were put together by workers who simply had to piece them together in a process that very much resembles the assembly of an Ikea wardrobe.
