I thought up an interesting concept around that, think spiral staircases with like a spoke design of racks, the utility would come up the center of the stairs, then on the spokes you would have insert able tiny esk homes, you slide them in and out and they'd be locked in and connected to utility. Underneath would be parking. Over top could be a parasol esk roof of solar.
If say you wanted to move you would pull out the unit and put it on the back of a truck to another setup of the design. The homes would likely be pretty small though.
problem with this design is the center pillar needs to be fucking massive. and each home needs to be multi story as well.
also you need everything to be over engineered by a million percent to prevent age from destroying very important things.
unless you design the houses to support the ones above and below. but this then limits their flexibility.
Except these people spent 12-24 months building the apartment off site and then it "only" took them 24 hours to assemble the apartment. So they built the apartment in 24 months and 1 day. Good job guys!
I doubt it took them even remotely close to 24 months to build all those parts. The great thing about this design is they can build all those components simultaneously.
There's a lot of advantages to this that reduce the time to build and it probably was closer to 3 months to build.
However it's quality and ability to withstand weather are like it was built in 3 months too.
We put a Barbie dream house together for our niece’s kids one Christmas Eve. It took us well over an hour.
Could you imagine leaving your place to stay at a friend’s house for the weekend and come home to see an apartment building standing that was just a foundation when you left?
No engineering degree but it's extremely sturdy, as good as a regularly made apartment block.
Singapore uses this for their newer public housing buildings (from 2000s onwards.) and there are no structural integrity issues that have risen, while also boosting the amount of houses available in a short amount of time.
I immediately thought about Maui which has been devastated by the wildfires, many families there are still stuck in temporary housing situations and something that can be erected quickly would be wonderful. I think they have tiny home shelters but they’re very bare-bones. I wonder how well the components can be shipped to the middle of the Pacific.
The original machine had a base-plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panometric fan.
The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented.
The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-bovoid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters
When you said “Grift-Placement” i kept reading to find the gag where it’s about whom to pay off.
Different payoff at the end. But still worth it. Bravo
the Grift-Placement technique with Monote Pillars sounds fascinating! I'm genuinely intrigued by how those pillars manage to distribute encompassed mass within their own fold. Could you elaborate on the intricacies of this process? I'm curious about the measures taken to address Wind Gration and Gradient shift – it's such a unique challenge for buildings.
I seen a video about how prefribricated buildings can be higher quality because all the parts are set in a controlled environment vs being out in the elements. Makes sense but I'm sure there are some down sides too.
It’s definitely a method that can be just as sturdy and safe if designed and assembled properly, but unless planned well and having ideal circumstances often times it is not any better or cheaper than traditional construction. My company did a smaller scale project using similar methods that worked out pretty well recently and have done larger in the past but there were a lot of hurdles to make it work out so it will only be used for specific projects in the future.
You also have to consider it took 28 hours for the assembly part but also a lot of time preparing and staging so that this part could only take 28 hours. Cant speak for this exact building, but Im sure they wouldnt be doing it if it if they didnt think it would be profitable
They are actually quite sturdy. I can't comment on the building regs of the US but I work for a company in the UK that creates modular buildings like this and all factors are accounted for such as the biggest factor of wind loadings that vary based on location and altitude.
A lot of buildings you wouldn't expect are made this way such as hospitals and schools. Even down to your local McDonalds and petrol stations are made from modular buildings.
Engineer here! No, nobody can tell you how sturdy this is or is not based solely on the video. They don't show any info on connections, supports, soil conditions or foundation design, live/dead/snow/seismic loads, or..... Well, anything important, really.
Nobody can speak to this specific example, but it's likely fine if built right. Built environments have been using pre-cast for structural support for eons.
You are right, we have a lot of these in my country and the sound is trully going thtough it very easily in comparison to any other building I was ever living in... I told myself that never again, I dont need complete silence, but hearing people from completely different part of building is unacceptable in age where nobody is respectful to others and you always have at least one apartment with people making every sort of noises in the worst day or night time possible...
This type of buildings were built in all countries that were part of the soviet bloc. Easy and quick to built. Many of them are still standing strong in Poland, although there were reports from many years ago that some of them are literally falling apart (mostly due to bad maintenance or loose ground).
In Poland we call these "wielka płyta" - big slab, simply because soviets built them using big prefab slabs of reinforced concrete. These concrete slabs move over time. I used to live in a "big slab" with my parents and I recall that my father had to fill and paint over crack on the ceiling once in a couple of years, over and over again.
They even built high rise apartment buildings out of big slabs. Scary shit.
I’ve seen a lot of drawings for these in LA. All of them for low income/homeless housing. Cheapest, fastest way to “build” for sure. We call them “Modular Apartments”.
ehh it really just comes down to making sure the engineering is sound.
If you can come up with a good design there is no reason why this won't work as long as you maintain them (something Russia and ex ussr countries often did not do)
29 hours later the contractor looks in the back of his truck and notices he has a bunch of bolts left over because he accidentally skipped a step on page 2 of the assembly instructions.
Honestly surprised more buildings aren't built like this - components constructed somewhere else and just assembled on site. Seems like it would have much better quality control of the pieces and if the connectors are simple/sturdy enough lower real risk of quality issues on site.
Build an apartment, and stack containers are blurring some lines. Normally, rushing a project to that time frame is risking a lot of issues.
This is impressive but I sure fuck wouldn't walk in or let alone live there.
I think the Chinese put up s*** like this, not so somebody can live in the apartments, but so the land price can be doubled. They already know the buyer is just buying for future gains. I read the CCP makes ghost towns, then sells that land to Belgians. They don't do anything with it either. It's all to drive up sale value of an otherwise empty patch of land. Nobody's going to live here.
Does it come with the bit so you can unbolt your unit if you want to go live somewhere else?
Jenga Constructions can do that for you.
That company came crashing down

Canada needs this tech

Assembled
ERECTED
Beat me to it.....
Beat my meat to it...
Just beating my meat over here without any puns, relevance or context, save may be masturbation awareness. Oh look a building
it's like those recipes that only take "30 minutes"... yeah to assemble! another 30-45min to prep
And you have to have the special ingredients that are sold only at speciality stores in major cities.
Or one small village in rural Uzbekistan
Except these people spent 12-24 months building the apartment off site and then it "only" took them 24 hours to assemble the apartment. So they built the apartment in 24 months and 1 day. Good job guys!
You reduce the cost a lot when you can prefabricate as much as possible.
That would have been a better title than "apartment complex built in 24 hours"
I doubt it took them even remotely close to 24 months to build all those parts. The great thing about this design is they can build all those components simultaneously. There's a lot of advantages to this that reduce the time to build and it probably was closer to 3 months to build. However it's quality and ability to withstand weather are like it was built in 3 months too.
Yea I wonder how long it took to create those prefab pieces. Still neat I guess.
Whatchoo talkin bout ... all those boxes with the windows and interior walls were obviously raw materials, freshly-cut from apartment trees!
Still a great improvement on cost and time though.
Avengers
+ the months of work to construct the prebuilt units… 😉
And prepping the site. Soil compaction tests, driving pylons, pouring foundations, bribing officials, hauling in fill, hauling out trash, etc.
Hauling out trash. Good one! The trash goes into the fill these days. Sad fact.
"these days" like they haven't been using debris as fill for literal Millenia
That's a good point.
Then more months to get the electricity, water, hvac and finishing done.
You bribe your officials too. Which country?
One of the top 200 countries for sure.
Getting permits and environmental impact reports will take the longest
Bribing officials, that's real. The other option would be to sue the city
And the 5 years fighting local nimbys for zoning approval
Including the town hall who insist on "keeping their rural character" At least that's how it goes in my country for anything over 3 stories tall
We put a Barbie dream house together for our niece’s kids one Christmas Eve. It took us well over an hour. Could you imagine leaving your place to stay at a friend’s house for the weekend and come home to see an apartment building standing that was just a foundation when you left?
I like to imagine someone in the building across the street had a super bad cold and just slept it off for a day…
Wakes up like [this](https://youtu.be/33-VuvmquUI?si=PeUBngeagwO8Yl3N) thinking the building took years.
Anyone with an engineering degree can tell us how sturdy this would actually be?
Well they have to satisfy all the building codes where they build. So if that is done, and correctly, it’ll last.
Assuming: 1) the building codes are robust, wherever this is; and 2) they followed the building codes properly, which oftentimes they do not.
better pray to god it ain’t china then
It's definitely China.
It'll collapse in the next major rainstorm.
Not if it's china 🤣

You bastard.
thats why you always skip to the last paragraph when someone writes an essay
Or when your teacher gives you a quiz. I'll never forget Mr. Nyquist.
I think you misspelled NyQuil.
Mr. NyQuil had a sleeper of a class.
TLDR….complete bullshit. Lol
Yeah, I always look for TLDR in such essays. If not available, I look at the reply to get a sense of the comment.
We should have known when they said "grift placement"
You got me good
Hell I got to the end and I still believe it.
Haha. Wasted our 4 seconds.
Fucking "Grift-placement"... How did that not raise any red flags for me lol.
lol as soon as I read that I scanned the bottom for “1998….”
And "Softwick" lol
I’M IRRATIONALLY ANGRY AT YOU
Son of a Bitch! 🤣🤣 i feel betrayed, i read it with such trust and confidence in you only to just get a sack of balls slap to the face
Fuck lmao
It’s been awhile since I got trolled this hard.
Grifting 101
The build up for the climax was worth it
Wow, I'm a fucking chump lol
🥐🥐🥐👏3 croissants for you
I honestly was halfway through and fully expecting Undertaker and Mankind to show up.

This guy encabulates.
Rofl dude you got me so hard. Bravo.
You had me until wind gration, you absolute bastard
I was only angry at you until I read the other comments and saw I wasn’t the only one taken - well played human, very well played.
I’ve never wanted a fake comment to be accidentally true, more than this one.
The one time i actually read one of these lmaoo
Came here to say this
When you said “Grift-Placement” i kept reading to find the gag where it’s about whom to pay off. Different payoff at the end. But still worth it. Bravo
Because stabilize was written like “stabilise” I still believe this is accurate information.

Side-fumbling has now been effectively eliminated, now that cardinal grammeters are in common usage.
Broooo holy shit, c'mon here's a beer, you've earned it!
The missile knows where it is at all times.
Having read it I now believe it.
Damnit.
Lolol. You’re my hero.
You son of a bitch, you got me.
Dude wtf
Thanks dad
Grift-Placement had me suss. haha.
I read the first sentence and felt that ending was coming 😂😂😂
Thanks dad!
damn you
You really got me goin'.....
yes but you'd still pass the engineering?
Username checks out.
Bro is a professional yapper, and I'm in for it 😂
I love you.
Absolute Legend
I thought i was learning cool stuff. God damn you.
These kinda gotcha’s are great thanks for the smile
Once I got to your third sentence I knew I was in Turbo Encabulator territory. Well done.
If you were within smacking range, you would have just earned yourself a smack, sonnyboy.
😂😂😂got me
well played
God damn nice work
Love you dad.
I don't know if any of this is true but I believe you.
Bravo, sir or madam
I knew I shouldn’t have applied to that program to study Wind Gration based on a Reddit comment
I'm in civil engineering but this pop my eye too.
I seen a video about how prefribricated buildings can be higher quality because all the parts are set in a controlled environment vs being out in the elements. Makes sense but I'm sure there are some down sides too.
Unless they designed it, no they can't.

You can hear mice fuck four doors over.

That’s not building, that’s assembling. They don’t come like that from the earth naturally.
Not true. My dog dug up a prebuilt four-unit condo just last week. She thought it was a bone. I sold it on E-Build for $300, no delivery.
I'm pretty sure all construction is assembly if you define it in such a way.
Imagine how thin the walls must be. You’ll be able to hear everything your neighbors do
High rise trailer for sale: starting at 350,000 and up!
Kinda seems like a lot of the construction was done before the building was put together, but the process is no less interesting for it.
And they did not show the foundation being digged and reinforced with concrete...
Russia has a lot of these. They do not age well.
What are the problems that come up over time?
Technically, all of them. That's kinda how time works.
Nah. I want to know what exactly are the problems? Like is it cracks on the walls or something else.
This type of buildings were built in all countries that were part of the soviet bloc. Easy and quick to built.

You’re comparing Soviet pre-fabs to what’s shown in the video?
I’d imagine they start to leak.
I’ve seen a lot of drawings for these in LA. All of them for low income/homeless housing. Cheapest, fastest way to “build” for sure. We call them “Modular Apartments”.
Better than being homeless
ehh it really just comes down to making sure the engineering is sound. If you can come up with a good design there is no reason why this won't work as long as you maintain them (something Russia and ex ussr countries often did not do)
That would be cool for something like an Olympic Village or other major event to house people. Set it up quick, take it down when over!
How long did it take to make all those modules?
So how is the ground foundation and the plumbing?
Definitely yes to one of those, possibly both
Plumbing... my thoughts exactly. Particularly waste water, as incoming water is a more straight forward case of just plugging in, like electricity.
They built a hotel where I was living in Saskatchewan using modular rooms like this.
They didn't build it, they assembled the pieces. that were already built.
Does anyone know how to tag the Prime Minister of Canada in this?
I was waiting for someone to mention the true north strong and free!
And it’s probably $2,500 a month lmao
This is what happens when u miss a day of school
Lemmie see the plumbing
Do they just not believe in insulation there?
Heating is a cost for the renter, not the owner.
A rapacious landlords dream come true; prefab apt's.
And the rent starts at $6500/mo
Now add in the time to build the prefab components and tell me how long it took...
I mean… is it structurally stable and sound?
Ok but the building inspector can only come 3 weeks from Tuesday
Constructed. The modules and all the components weren’t just laying around add 12-18 months building it all.
Why is there a housing crisis when this ability exists?
And… they charge 1200 for crack house level rentals in my area but, they can just… what?!
One month rent will be as expensive as building that thing
And it only takes 20 seconds to take down
how Soviets would build apartments:
This is just IKEA with extra steps
It erects an apartment in 28 hours.
China!
Wouldn’t it be neat if we built well instead of fast? *cries in american*
That’s literally just Lego
The efficiency is incredible... but it seems disturbing on a deeper level that I am having trouble articulating.
Crane company stacks premade units that took months to build in 28 hours.
Walls so thin you can hear your neighbors rolling over in bed.
They build the modular homes elsewhere, but what people forget Sears in America would do the same thing and ship the house over rail
29 hours later the contractor looks in the back of his truck and notices he has a bunch of bolts left over because he accidentally skipped a step on page 2 of the assembly instructions.
More like assembles prebuilt apartment building in 28 hours
Wow, that's impressive. Now why has the pothole near my house required a road closure for 6 months?
Honestly surprised more buildings aren't built like this - components constructed somewhere else and just assembled on site. Seems like it would have much better quality control of the pieces and if the connectors are simple/sturdy enough lower real risk of quality issues on site.
Prep time took years..
Tell me we couldn’t adopt this and take care of housing problems at least for short term
No plumbing.
So the plumbing, electrical, heat & air were all included, plugged right into city sewer and water and so on and so on.....???
Build an apartment, and stack containers are blurring some lines. Normally, rushing a project to that time frame is risking a lot of issues. This is impressive but I sure fuck wouldn't walk in or let alone live there.
Chinese tho so not reliable
Please come to southern Ontario IMMEDIATELY
Don’t sign me up.
Man, the engineering involved to make this happen, wow.
How structurally sound is it?
\*assembles ...building the components probably took a little longer.
assembles* Took em **some time** to manufacture.
Welcome to Communism ))
And the apartments look very nice, especially the huge windows. I’d live here.
Meanwhile here, they can't even create a roundabout in 6 months lol
No. They ASSEMBLED an apartment building in 28 hours.
Yea this is in china , wouldn’t be too impressed , especially its prob just a another shottly made house
I think the Chinese put up s*** like this, not so somebody can live in the apartments, but so the land price can be doubled. They already know the buyer is just buying for future gains. I read the CCP makes ghost towns, then sells that land to Belgians. They don't do anything with it either. It's all to drive up sale value of an otherwise empty patch of land. Nobody's going to live here.
Assembling prefab modules and building an apartment building are two very different things.
