        Seems more like assembling than building.

        What do you think construction exactly is - they should mine ore from the ground, process the raw material and forge the steel into rails on-site?

        Obviously not... like 1500 chinese workers wont help any woman to give birth in 9 seconds, instead of the regular 9-month. There are some situations in which scalabity does not help

        Pre fab units? The reality is a hell of a lot more time and people went into it than this last step showed

        That’s how you should do it! Prefab off site & less time on track.

        Cons, huge lead times, have to have an established full construction design prior to all components, requires a higher level of labor, or atleast supervision of labor to assemble than the average concrete pourer

        And cost of materials obviously much higher than non pre fab it goes without saying
