It’s great to hear all the positive comments from the skilled, UNION, construction trades actually working on the project. The construction industry has to do something to make up for the shortage of people who want to work in construction.

They said this is a 16 story building, I think this type of construction would be limited by the height of the building. I've worked construction on buildings as high as 55 and 60 stories. I don't believe this type of construction would work there because of the amount of weight that would be at the top of the building. You don't want top heavy construction before the base is there for support.

@J1WE Жыл бұрын

That could be dealt with by tapering the pillars. Thicker at bottom and thinner up top. Lessening the square footage and structure the higgher you go and growing the lower you go. It could still be implemented in higher construction but would have to change design a bit more.. even along the line of suspension bridge maybe?, Attached at the top coming down or like a prism/diamond from top and from bottom

There was a building that was being built in Japan using robots and this building was built in the 1990s through barcode scanning on of the concrete sections without a human worker in sight. It was the Big Canopy. Also top down construction is nothing new a skyscraper that was built in the 1960s in Madrid was built using that style of technique.

When it comes to what drives up the cost of most housing in cities, which is a lack of housing due to how expensive it is to build new developments (supply/demand), in theory a system like this, which is supposed to make construction more efficient and potentially cheaper (and therefore more desirable for developers), over time could lower the cost for "consumers." Will that actually be the case? who knows, but at least it's a promising idea.
