The China-based enterprise Broad Group managed to set a steel apartment building in just over a day. Apparently, the developers used “Living Building System”

In a record-breaking development in China, a 10-story residential building in Changsha city was fully constructed in 28 hours and 45 minutes. The China-based enterprise Broad Group managed to develop a steel apartment building in just over a day. Apparently, the developers used bolt-together modular units known as its “Living Building System”.

The developers of the building shared a nearly five-minute-long video on their YouTube channel on June 13, wherein they showed how the entire structure was swiftly erected. Using a pre-fab, modular design, BROAD Group was able to construct a 10-story apartment building in 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The building modules, which look like huge containers, are first constructed in Broad Group’s factory and transported to the building site in trucks and stacked as per requirement.

Be sure to check out the fold-downs and prefabricated parts added to the units on-site and the roll-out windows.

It is easy to transport and install, Broad Group’s “Living Building” system have used component that is able to fit into a standard shipping container. All left is to be bolted together and made into a fully raised building. As part of the system, the Group claimed to have used steel slabs for the structural elements which are 10-times lighter and 100-times stronger than generally used conventional slabs.
