No it was real alright. Why not build like that. We can make all of the excuses we want to about what can go wrong. We already do that now. Anything is possible if the people in control of the situation take all of the needed precautions and has people involved in each process of the project on site overseeing every aspect of the task at hand. Having a devoted team with a certain level of skill on site is also a blessing. Having pride in ones job used to be the norm in the USA, but now it is all about what one can get out of the company with as little work as possible.

I remember the first time I watched the "Home Extreme Makover" show and thought that there was no way they could tear down and rebuild a single family home in one week and have it ready to move in, but it has been done hundreds of times since then. Even "Habitat for Humanity" has done it a few times with 90% of the workforce being volunteers. You are going to see injuries on any worksite no matter what the pace. Construction mistakes are sometimes unavoidable if things are not kept to a very precise schedule. As long as the mistakes are not major or catostrophic in nature there is no reason any good company can not build things in that fashion. That building was nothing more than a giant version of an Erektor set, and that concept started back in the 1950's. Have you seen how fast the Koreans are now building the newest Supertankers. It used to take 2 to 3 years from start to finish, and now they can build a complete ship in a year. You can doubt our abilities human beings all you wish, but things like this are going on more and more around the world revolutionizing the way we do construction.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
