I'm addicted to this channel
it is rather excellent isn't it!
I just got hooked the other day haha
The quality is mental
Watch other modular construction video in our channel
The “fully furnished including bedding” part to this is really cool.
I found that part a bit strange, TBH. Why would you not bring in the bedding once the construction is complete? Same with the toiletries.
@@DavidChipman Doors and corridors may be too narrow to efficiently move so many bed frames and beds after construction.
@@nulnoh219 I was not thinking of the beds themselves but he fabric sheets and covers. And if you can't move matresses, maybe you've screwed up the design?
Exactly how the shipping industry boat builders have been doing for over a decade. And here in Sweden I can from my kitchen watch a “LEGO” building going up. One crane lifts the parts into place and a couple of guys make sure it fits in place.
thomasfholland Sweden ? Don’t you mean Cuckistan ?
@@gv9750 stop man
Vilken byggnad syftar du på?
Is this “LEGO building” in Sweden that you’re describing a mosque?
@@nishhnishh1088 No, but he can get harassed by people who have never been to Sweden thinking they know anything about it, all without leaving home.
Love this channel.
We love our viewers!! 💙
ikr! It shows revolutionary techniques, buildings, cities, projects, and makes it sound interesting!
@@TheB1M
Can I buy this in IKEA and build it myself.
Liam Walsh.... that's the whole point sir!
you can buy this also in lidl
If we’re from IKEA, it would fall apart. Killing hundreds on the streets bellow!
Sure, but you can only build it with some shitty pictures.
Just make sure you have got the instructions
One of my favourite channels by far
this is wicked! would love to see more about prefab stuff. best channel!
You're in for a treat over the next few months!
B1M: The World's Tallest Modular Hotel.
Me: The World's Tallest Jenga.
56 Leonard Street: Am i a joke to you?
I think we can expect to see more of this prefab construction for residential in the future. Really makes sense.
Thanks again for all the great videos! Bravo, B1M!!
Seems like a cool idea... however I fear for the furniture during instillation lol
i hope that theyre just put in the room as sortof ikea kits and then assembled. that would make way more sense.
I am pretty sure only furniture that is fixed and can’t be moved is installed such as the bed, desk and built-ins and everything else such as chairs are added later.
What I want to know is how they construct the shaft for the lift, is there a concrete core like in other high rises?
I assume that they can do that because they have to already be really careful and precise when moving and placing the units so they don’t compromise the integrity of the structure also if you look at skilled crane operators it’s pretty amazing how gracefully they can move things, probably biggest issue would be at sea with the movement of the ocean but they probably tie down any furnitures that are moveable.
@@markus-us1bg Hotel beds can be moved in cause it becomes a single room or guest want to add another bed
@@Brick-Life not all beds can do that. It s a only a small proportion of beds that they store, and it s usually single beds (as they need to fit throught the elevator)
I love learning about new innovations from this channel. You make me want to travel and see all the wonderful things you have talked about. One of my top channels. Thank you.
great channel, best regards from Austria 🇦🇹🔝
I love your country, I been there recently and was one of the best trips
Keep the work like this. It´s amazing how you explain all your videos
I love these videos. Could you make a video on the Trigoni Project in Helsinki, Finland at some point? It would be interesting to watch.
You can probably just find information on it by just searching Helsinki Skyscrapers since there really aren't any here yet lol
Yesss
This is my favorite channel, you always have excellent content. 👏🏼👏🏼
Liked the video before I watched it.
@Konrad My
That’s called confirmation bias.
There is a 21 story, 500 room Hilton in San Antonio, that utilized modular construction when built in 1968!
It’s definitely not new. There’s an apartment complex in Montreal which was built in 1967 which used prefabricated blocks to form different apartments. I don’t think it’s that revolutionary, it’s just particularly useful in some applications which involve repetitive structures like a block of flats or a hotel. What is unique is the assembly-line like creation of each room, that could really change construction.
The Contemporary at Walt Disney World used modular construction (it was designed to allow the room modules to be replaced, though this never happened).
lots of places use prefab structures, but they were rarely fitted out.
I wonder if robots in the future will assemble our prefabricated buildings for us and if also prefabrication will become common place domestically for houses.
YES... Not only on Earth but on Mars or Moon etc,.
@@pppsss5653 I wish it won't become a most popular standard because this will lead to even more boring and copy-paste modern architecture than we already have.
Labas Labas Exactly
prefab houses are actually already made,
just not the time to apply it yet
Prefab/modular homes already exist; they're usually just aimed at the lower end of the market (i.e. mobile homes, trailers, ect.). You can, of course, buy nicer versions of these that go into the 6-figure range and can be delivered to you on a tractor trailer. Furthermore, most residential developments already use a set number of designs that are alternated in a set number of patterns. These haven't gotten to the point that they're manufactured off-site and hauled in but if you go to any recent, large-scale development on the outskirts of any city in the US, you'll see what I mean. These developments usually look nice but lack in quality so they're generally avoided by anyone who has any knowledge about the construction industry or architecture but they do exist. I really doubt we'll see modular construction move any higher up the market than the middle class though. Anyone who makes more than six figures will have the money and preference to buy something designed specifically for them, after all.
One of the best if not the best channel on TH-cam.
Anytime you can knock of 50-70% off anything is a major achievement!! Especially in places like NYC where earthquakes are rare and prefabricated unit's can be built!!
Thank you ! Very informational !
Ahh. Another video from the definitive video channel for construction, the B1M!
Woohoo! Thanks, Poland! 😊
Great City shot at the end! I love this channel, Thanks for all you do!
Whenever I see a B1M upload I can't resist
Future here 👍🏻
„Lowering the environmental impact“
-> „ahhh let’s ship this shit from Poland“
It’s really just to help the bottom line of the company. I doubt it is really any more environmentally friendly than traditional construction, and shipping it from halfway across the world surely doesn’t help. If these rooms were built locally I’m sure it would be a valid claim.
The process of making concrete produces a ton of carbon, this is probably what they mean when they say it will cut emissions.
Agreed. In sure they mean environmental impact at the construction site, which counts for something, but shipping is dirty and we shouldn't ignore that.
ships are significantly more efficient than road transportation, tho. the stat with stone is usually that driving it the last 100miles is more carbon than shipping it half way around the world... plus you are assuming the products going into the traditional building aren't being shipped anyway. But with modular the biggest saving is in lack of wastage, factories are much cleaner with less wastage, damage and more recycling etc.
building in a factory probably consumes less resources than building on site while manufacturing each room in Poland will be more cost efficient than building in the USA while still being of a matched quality which is probably why most European auto makers produce they're cars there such as Ford of Europe and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (used to be just Polski Fiat)
90 days ??? WOW
There are no rooms for success, only ribbon cutting for actively promoting the standards of excellence.😂 CONGRATULATIONS
The most underrated youtube channel
this channel just keeps getting better and better. great work!!!
Reminds me of sunomata castle which was built in a few days in the mid 16 th century by Toyotomi Hideyoshi ( a retainer under Oda Nobunaga at the time) in the seige of Inabayama castle, it was made out of prebuilt sections out of wood, they did this to surprise, intimidate and demoralise the enemy
Rediscovering old ideas then... Ha-ha
This is so neat. Looking forward to being able to eventually see the future of hotels. Hope this concept catches on
This channel is Absolutely Fabulous. Very interesting and well presented. Thanks from Orlando Florida
Does it have a pool?
I did a 22-floor prefab modular building in Colindale London. Welcome to exchange the technology and experience
You are ignoring or brushing aside the impact of the unions and the taxes in New York. It's not just a shortage of labor (and a seemingly unexplained increase in construction cost by you) it's the mountain of paperwork so the unions get their cut and the state and the politicians get their taxes that is increasing costs. All businesses would certainly save huge amounts of time and money if they didn't have to pay all these millions and jump through so many regulatory hoops to get anything done in New York.
Wow... You hit the dart man... That is what is going against USA and it is not very far that these machinations will ring out bells for such a corrupt (but also looks legal in a way) system. Already USA lost to China and now other countries are challenging USA
This man could tell me I was going to die and I would still just happily listen to his voice
This is incredible. I could easily so this type of construction leading the way for these types of projects. The speed, cost, and quality are to great to ignore.
And this will lead to unoriginal copy paste buildings like in Soviet Russia.
@@ligametis That's been happening regardless of modular construction.
These videos are so relaxing yet so informative. Thank you! 🙌🏽
This channel constantly expands the places and buildings I want to go and visit!
Thank you B1M
You’re welcome 😉
@@TheB1M what's the difficult part in modular building? Is it the design or the engineering part of it?
Every time that you are on my recommend I click sooooo fassssttt!
Hey B1M, when you say numbers like $100 million compared to $70 million, would you mind putting those numbers up on screen. I am a visual learner instead of auditory, so I have a hard time immediately understanding the difference like I do if I see those numbers. It's a minor thing, but it would help make the channel a little bit better!
Thanks for the feedback!! 👍
This project is still not even out of the ground two and a half years later...
As a Civil Engineering student I appreciate channels like this 🤩✨this is the content I signed up for 💕🍃
Hey, @B1M, I was wondering how earthquake resistant they are,
Great video btw👌
They're classified for Manhattan. We can easily cover class 4 for, say, San Diego
sir, you are doing a great job of sharing this knowledge, can we get some more videos on precast technology with its costing compare to cast in situ.
Hi everyone!
Hello
The B1M 🤗
This channel leaves gobsmacked.
I'm a little concerned about the outsourcing, seems like the rooms could just as easily be built locally and with a lower carbon footprint, rather than shipping them across the Atlantic on polluting freighters. If this trend keeps up I bet the local construction unions are going to throw a fit too, faster construction means lower hours for Ironworkers and pre-built rooms means a whole host of local tradespeople will be unneeded.
I thought that, but then it said that they plan to build 25% of their hotels this way. It is more sensible to have a central factory constructing the units, and then shipping around the world, rather than build a new factory in each country.
Which ever way they prefabricate, building workers will suffer, but this is the way the world is heading, for good or for bad.
man i love these channel..
I would love to get more map visualization in these videos to see where in NYC the building is!
Otherwise, I love your videos as always! Keep 'em coming
Awesome video. Keep doing the good job team!
Thanks! We will! 👍
Wow! Thanks.
Great Video - i just dont think the enviromental impact will be reduced if you have to ship an entire skyscraper from poland to new york xD
Another concern I have is the environmental impact of the sourcing of materials. Ikea has a difficult time with lumber illegally harvested from protected forests ending up in their supply chain when sourcing flat pack furniture from Chinese factories. I hope the Polish factories for this project don't run into similar unethical material sourcing issues.
This plus micro apartments could have a dramatic affect on the housing shortages in major cities.
I.LOVE.NEW.YORK
I watch this channel when I need to relax, calm down, or find inspiration and motivation
So it’s a lego hotel that even Godzilla won’t step on. I like it! 👍
That is how every new technology brings people to fear of failure. But all such things are taken care of because Marriott built in New York. Imagine how a thatched roof dweller felt when he sees high rise buildings first time..!! That's all the difference. You will enjoy quieter rooms. I even assume that even during Earth quakes etc., This type of construction will provide more safety because of Bubble type of room and will not smash easily like floor based building. I like this concept and we shall welcome new technology. Ofcourse it is done as a commercial viability proposal but it is made by new technology. How come Poland was selected for off-site .. I wonder, may be architects are from Poland and / or contractors are from Poland and costs very cheap now a days. But Thumbs up from me.
Interesting and informative , as usual !!
Cover Oslofjord Convention Center. One of the biggest building sites in Norway and one of the biggest multipurpose halls in Europe.
Big hotel resort
The architect of this project, Danny Forster, was the charming dorky host of the late 2000’s cable show, Extreme Engineering....Really glad to hear he’s doing such an interesting project!
I love human ingenuity LOL.
Shipping the whole building from Poland across half a globe doesn't sound very environmentally friendly, but I guess these extra emissions are offset elsewhere in the process..
May be it is done on a one off use. But in future local supply only makes it workable.
I thought that, but then it said that they plan to build 25% of their hotels this way. It is more sensible to have a central factory constructing the units, and then shipping around the world, rather than build a new factory in each country.
@@PLuMUK54 It could also be to do with the supply chain, reducing the emissions from shipping all the constituent parts, including furniture and linens, that go into the modules. Or it could just be cheap labor and green washing. I don't know.
@@MatthewStinar I know what you mean, but I dont think that cheap labour is an issue here. Poland's economy has been growing, and many Poles have left the UK to return home because they can now get paid as well if not better than in the UK. Shipping components to a central point is something I'd not considered, but it would make economic sense.
@@PLuMUK54 Yes, and I've heard of people leaving Ukraine for better jobs in Poland.
Keep up the good work.
Prefabricated buildings may make sense from a cost, quality, and time perspective, but I'd like to see their limit with regard to aesthetics. Does anyone apply modular construction to older designs, like an art deco building?
Why not..! It will start in a big way and later it becomes a simple choice. It is very much coming in very near future. Initially it starts with Hotels, Malls, Offices then Homes.
@@pppsss5653 show me one
Man I just love this channel!
The hotel industry is changing year on year
Is anybody else thinking about Portal 2 right now?
Me as a lego fan MODULAR BUILDINGS!!!
Such a great and innovative idea, building blocks with stuff inside. I love it.
It's absolutely hideous. Turning a grey prison tower a jaunty 20° from the curb doesn't make it visually appealing, it's more of the same PoMo toy blocks you see scattered everywhere else. This is a cost-saving design choice that they have come up with a post-hoc visual language to justify. I doubt Marriott plans to pass the savings on to the consumer, either.
You are correct. Marriott is a business. But simply put, you told naked truth. But this is how technology evolves around economic need.
Thank you...
Your channel is amazing and so inspiring as an architect I really appreciate such a very well presented, informative yet entertaining to watch content thank you very much and keep it up>
You might need a restraining order! I’m officially addicted to the contents of this channel. Smashed the subscribe button too. :) greetings from HH 🇩🇪
Wow, Danny Forster from Discovery Channel Extreme Engineering? He has grown up!
This is so cool
This is even cooler: www.businessinsider.com/chinese-skyscraper-built-in-19-days-with-modular-design-2015-6
Amazing!
Best channel on TH-cam!
One question: how does it work with hallways and elevators?
your ability of speech delivery is quite impressive
That's a very short build time, 90 days!!!
What about 57 floors and 19 days? www.businessinsider.com/chinese-skyscraper-built-in-19-days-with-modular-design-2015-6
Great vid as always...
1:50 random time lapse of the buildings being built across the street from me in Tel Aviv...
I love this innovation. I'd like to see it applied to urban communities as well to make affordable housing within cities. I'm of the opinion that affordable housing is not just for low incomes, but for those who appreciate that there are better things to spend one's money on than lavish giant home and contributing to urban sprawl.
It is being applied but very slow. For global warming alone it is absolutely necessary. Everyone needs to get on board sooner than later. I have partnered with companies who do. My mission is to bring more developers to leave on site and come to the 21st Century. We have disaster proof energy efficient homes and buildings to be built. Contact me if you are a developer and investor.
There is a Marriott hotel in Warsaw :)
This concept has existed for a a while
❤️ the videos B1M is producing !!!
This method is not a new concept, while the cruise industry is doing it for decades and so did Disney (Contemporary Hotel at WDW in Orlando back in 1971) and others as well. Interesting enough though to use this method for chain hotels and affordable housing.
In researching this video, did you come across any information about when the first modular hotel was built? That would be a really interesting video.
Another one!
Thank you, you guys have fulfilled my request again about modular building 😀😀😀😀😀😀
The Marriott have now adopted this approach across over in Europe also, with a new Marriott and Moxy hotel being built using modula pods system/ MMC in cities for example, like Glasgow.
North of the city, New Rochelle is experiencing a boom in residential construction in part due to modular construction. Worth exploring in another video, if not for the downtown overlay redevelopment scheme developed in 2015 that is soon to produce a 600 foot tall skyscraper.
BRILLIANT idea! But one question: What about load-bearing superstructure (floors/vertical columns, fire stairways, etc) for all those upper floors? Sure those prefab rooms must need some sort of vertical "skeleton" to ensure structural strength/rigidity, no? Or are the stacked units sufficiently rigid enough in themselves not to require additional structure?
I especially love that these prefab units can be built/manufactured ANYWHERE - such as areas of the US (or other countries) that are desperately in need of good blue-collar jobs...
Is this actually the tallest? At 0:48, 26 storeys is mentioned. China built a 30 storey modular hotel in 15 days back in 2012, and that video is on TH-cam. Height per floor could obviously account for a difference in total height.
Working in NYC i watched 520 Park Avenue go up with each piece by piece of the building come in on trailers. at most maybe 3 trucks parked on the streets waiting for nightfall for them to lift the next sections into place, very cool even though it was only the exterior facade. it seems this takes it a step further than that
Where does the elevator go? Is the elevator shaft modular too?
This is really great and the answer to make housing affordable.
I work at a bar on Columbus Avenue and I see the rooms being shipped by truck almost every night! Very cool to find out what they are for.
