We won't know until it is stressed.dlgoff said:But how structurally sound is it?
It may or may not be structurally sound. It is a given that the building will need to be fitted with water, electricity communications, etc, and that takes a LOT more time than erection and sheathing.russ_watters said:I'm sure it is structurally sound...air conditioned and powered? Maybe not...
Liberty ships were merchant ships produced during WW II. On average 3 of these finished production each day The average time to build them was 42 days nationally, and 2 weeks at Kaiser shipyards. The fastest Liberty ship build was the Robert E. Peary in 4 days, 15 hours, and 29 minutes as a publicity stunt. This was built at Kaiser's Richmond shipyard.

This is pretty impressive too, http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_fast_were_ships_built_in_America_during_World_War_2" ,
I know they didn't have the technology present today, I think they made up for with willpower, teamwork, and very smart savvy engineers.
Rhody...
Yep. My wife's aunt was one. She died a pretty uncomfortable death due to the asbestos exposure. Nice lady, who would cheat at card games with her sister "just because".lisab said:I've heard that a significant number of workers who built the Liberty Ships were women - Rosie the Riveters.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6945972.stmThe collapse of a bridge in China has put the spotlight on the nation's many construction projects.
Experts paint a damning picture of the safety standards on such projects, particularly those in remote areas.
They are sometimes rushed - often leading to design or building flaws - in order to finish work on time, or even before expected completion dates.
A lack of properly trained workers also means plans are not always carried out to designers' wishes, experts say.
Tao Hongyi, China director for the bridge builder Dorman Long Technology, says standards vary across the country.
"Big projects in major cities are usually built to a high standard, but lesser projects in remote areas often slip under the radar," says Mr Tao, whose UK-based firm has built eight major bridges in China.
Part of the problem, he says, is China's desire to build infrastructure projects quickly, often to maintain economic growth...
Ivan Seeking said:[I cannot help but expect the worst from the Three Gorges Dam. If it does ever fail, it will be catastrophic beyond belief.
Just as with enviromental concerns and worker safety, for now China enjoys a state of contruction limbo - a protected existence - in which they are not fully accountable for their actions. As the disasters mount, just as we were, China will be forced to change her ways.
Building a 15 story hotel in six days is possible through the use of prefabrication and modular construction techniques. This means that many of the components of the hotel, such as walls, floors, and rooms, are built off-site and then transported to the construction site for assembly. This greatly speeds up the construction process and allows for a shorter overall timeline.
The materials used in building a 15 story hotel in six days will depend on the specific construction techniques and design of the hotel. However, commonly used materials include steel, concrete, and precast concrete panels. These materials are strong, durable, and can be quickly assembled on-site.
Quality control is a crucial aspect of building a 15 story hotel in six days. This is achieved through careful planning, use of high-quality materials, and strict adherence to construction standards and codes. Additionally, frequent inspections and testing are conducted throughout the construction process to ensure that the hotel meets all safety and quality requirements.
Building a 15 story hotel in six days can present several challenges, such as inclement weather, site conditions, and coordination with various contractors and suppliers. It also requires a highly skilled and efficient construction team, as any delays or mistakes can significantly impact the timeline.
In some cases, building a 15 story hotel in six days can be more cost-effective than traditional construction methods. This is because the shorter timeline reduces labor and financing costs. However, the overall cost will depend on various factors, such as the location, design, and materials used. It is important to carefully consider all costs and benefits before deciding on this construction approach.
