    But they can put up 30-story housing pretty damn quick...


    Reporting from Changsha, China— In early December, Liu Zhangning was tending her cabbage patch when she saw a tall yellow construction crane in the distance. At night, the work lights made it seem like day.

    Fifteen days later, a 30-story hotel towered over her village on the outskirts of the city like a glass and steel obelisk.

    "I couldn't really believe it," Liu said. "They built that thing in under a month."

    A time-lapse video of the project in Changsha, which shows the prefabricated building being assembled on site, has racked up more than 5 million views on YouTube and left Western architects speechless.

    "I've never seen a project go up this fast," said Ryan Smith, an expert on prefabricated architecture at the University of Utah.

        So that is how they get the crane out.
