Hey guys

Anyone knows how long it takes to build one floor after the foundation are done? I heard its about 1 week or so.. Just curious as I noticed that some condo are built up really fast whereas others take a much long time? I think leasehold and FH plays a part too....

Thanks

Dear brother Number_9z, you are correct. If u are talking about 1 whole floor with 4x 500sqft units, it is 5 days provided the pre-fabricated parts and labor are available. You see, it is like lego lor....HAHAHAHAH. If you observe carefully the layouts of modern homes, the L walls & usable space are almost the same for similar bedders la except the placements of the parts are layout differently lor.

ThanksIn today's precast concrete industry and prefabrication techniques, the most time consuming part of construction is actually laying a good foundation plus the interior running of pipes and cables... getting the concrete walls up and building the columns and beams are really fast. If its a low rise project, then can really save on the foundation work so the entire project can even take less than 2 years... :D

Woh Hup is a good local Main contractor. They may be using prefab technique given such a large project as they are container like.

The most amazing one is the Estuary at Khatib.. is like rushing for the next year's CNY haha... The hamilton at Orchard was built up extremely fast too.. hardly see the structure, suddenly the building was standing...but it really looks like a LEGO structure, with all floors the same..

I would think building Hamilton Scotts would be easier. Only 1 tower and 2 kinds of units.
Not like other condos with many blocks and many layouts.

Locations of projects is also very important... the soil conditions of places like Orchard is really good so you can see buildings like westin stamford and UOB building... tall tall buildings build like years back when building technology was still not as advanced as now, coz the soil is mainly rocks so foundation is really solid... good foundation means less time spent for completion... some other places not so straight forward... Also depend on the developer and contractors... some contractors have 2 major projects on hand so manpower allocation is compromised so project might be slightly slower... :spliff:

One of the record holder must be The Rochester condo near Buona Vista train station. This project was launched in Jul 2007 and construction is still ongoing.

:doh:When's the promised TOP date? Can the owners raise a case against the developers??? Owners are losing money daily for such irritating delays... :scared-3:

I wonder if too fast also means poor quality...

But quite strange...thought most developer wants to build faster. so that can get the $$ faster from buyers? I am referring to development which has started building............

I wonder if too fast also means poor quality...With today's technology, building construction can be super fast... there are engineers and quality surveyors to ensure the stability of buildings... Not to worry... no one will want to construct a building that will collapse in his/her life time... :spliff: Can be arrested...

This is interesting as I was also wondering how long does it takes to construct each floor once foundation are completed.
I just received letter from bank on the 10% disbursement for the completion of foundation. Really looking forward to the project early completion cos need to have my own house badly.....:banghead:

Depends on e design of e building. If e same movable formworks or prefabrication tech are used for standard building design, it can be as fast as 3-4days per floor. Malaysia petronas twin tower took an average of 3-4 days to complete each floor. Weather plays a part too.
