World's Tallest Building Built In 90 Days Proves PAP's Public Housing To Be a Fraud !

[GOD IS MY DOG]

When completed by March 2013, Sky City in Changsha will be the tallest skyscraper in the world, standing 838m high, over 220 floors.

It took Dubai over 5 years to build the world’s tallest building, the 828mBurj Khalifa, but architects and engineers at Broad Sustainable Building (BSB), a unit of the air conditioning maker Broad Group, are confident it can build Sky City in 90 days though it has never built anything taller than 30 storeys.

BSB plans to construct the skyscraper with the completion of 5 storeys a day. Sky City will achieve the target by assembling BSB’s 95 per cent prefabricated modular technology at a breakneck construction pace. BSB, demonstrated the construction method when it constructed a 30-storey hotel in 15 days.

Sky City’s projected cost is £400m, using 220,000 tons of steel, and will house 31,400 people.

The company says the residential area will use 83 per cent of the building, while the rest will be offices, schools, hospitals, shops and restaurants.

Countries that built the tallest skyscraper always goes into economic depression upon completion.

Either a fraud or total disaster.

The PAP Housing took such a long time to built the apartment because they transferred the risk to the buyer and they wanted to squeeze as much as possibily can from the Singaporean buyers.

Before the Asian Financial Crisis, the property market in Singapore is hot. Prices have been going up and up. There is a shortage of new properties coming on stream into the market. As a result, the HDB went into an overdrive. There were massive overbuilt in the outer regions of Singapore.

As the property market heats up, so is the price of the new HDB units. Singaporeans continued to snap up new HDB units despite the increasing prices.

The Asian Fiancial Crisis changed it all. Suddenly, there were retrenchments, the stock market crashed, easy money stopped flowing and all buying mood dampened.

By then, the HDB had a massive overbuilt. There were lots of empty HDB units in places like Jurong West and Woodland. These vacant units were left vacant because buying public felt that the prices were too high and hence not of value. The prices were too high because while the resale and private property markets have adjusted their asking prices downward, the prices of new HDB units remain stubbonly there - hardly moved. Hence no taker.

The situation was so bad that the HDB decided to combine two 3 bedroom units into one Jumbo unit in Woodland before putting it on the market again. Despite such efforts, the demand were slow. There were Jumbo units available for walk in then.

One interesting point to note is that there is always Sales of Balance Flats. In most private properties, such sales of balance properties are cleared at a discount. This is because these properties are always less desirable e.g facing rubbish dump and low floor units. Why can't HDB conduct an auction to clear them? Most people would agree that it is only a question of pricing. Where there is a supply, at a price low enough there will be demand. But no, HDB choose to leave it vacant and blame it on Singaporeans for being choosy. I am sure if the price is right, Singaporeans are not choosy.

It was about this period that the HDB, under the useless shorty MBT, decided to change their game plan. Determined not to be the one holding the hot balls of having overhanging inventories, they started various schemes including that BTO, DBSS etc. This transfer the risk to buyers.

That is why we ended up with having to wait for a few years before getting the keys to the unit purchased.

Had HDB adjusted their prices downward, then there will be no question that the overhanging stocks could be cleared much earlier. Why didn't they do that? Coz they want to maximise the squeezing they could make from Singaporeans.

This is an unsual PRC company. They are heavy into green technology, use prefab with all ductings and fittings in place amd have actually built a 30 storey building in 15 days. They work around the clock and use more engineers for quality reasons. The boss is some kind of climate change fanatic. For what I have seen, no copying of any technology.

Good to see people of this sort creating value for society.m

PRC has been doing that for years. Watch the embedded video, 15-storey hotel in 6 days. No shit.

15 stories is still doable with some margin of error. But 220 stories, 800+m is a different ball game altogether. A 0.1 mm variance at the bottom level will be magnified at the top, potentially endangering the building. Not to mention that the cranes have to be slowly moved up as the building rise above the reach of cranes on the ground, as the building reaches above 20 stories, a smaller number of cranes can be used, thus drastically slowing speed. There will also need to be lengthy tests as the building reaches certain height and weight milestones, to check for errors and unforeseen issues.

The logistics for material is also mind boggling. The amount of steel required for an entire 800m building is not something you can buy off the shelves. If they had said 100 stories in 6 months maybe still can push it. 220 stories in 3 months... Clearly a bridge too far.

i've read how 3-bedroom apartments (equal to our 4-rm flat) in England can be built at cost of 25K pounds = 50,000 Singdollars.............

i've also spoken with some people in the construction industry in early 2000's..........they say the cost of building a 4-rm flat is only below 30K..........

property in sinkieland is indrect tax. To create illusion of low income tax, thereby attracting dumb foreigners and lulled sinkies into thinking this shit hole is paradise. Even worse, the high indirect taxes are not used for healthcare and social safety nets, but shiphoned into GIC and Temasick to cover the twin black holes.

They either use mega fast drying cement or prefabs. or alternatively each storey is only 2mm tall! Bloody China dogs will never achieve any honesty & integrity! Just so similar to PAP!
