Chinese company Broad Group has erected a modular 10-storey apartment block, named the Living Building, in just over a day in Changsha, China.
A timelapse released by Broad Group shows the 10-storey building being erected in China by a large team of workers and three cranes in 28 hours and 45 minutes.
According to the company, this is the "world's shortest construction period" for a building of this scale.
Tower built from stainless steel modules
The apartment block was assembled from standard container-sized modular units that were made in a factory by Broad Group and have a stainless steel structure.
Each module is 12.19 metres (40 feet) long, 2.44 metres (eight feet) wide and three metres (10 feet) high.
The container shaped modules stacked with one wall of each unit folding down to become a floor plate and create a column-free space that is 12 metres by 4.8-metres. Windows and balconies fold out from the unit to enclose the spaces. "10 storeys can be erected in one day"
The modules are transported to the site with all the electric and internal finishes complete meaning that installation can happen rapidly.
"Extremely simple onsite installation: Just tighten bolts and connect [the] water and electricity, as fast as 10 storeys can be erected in one day," said the company.

The video shows the fully completed apartment block simply furnished with white walls and timber window frames and flooring.
