In a first for India, around 200 engineers, supervisors and labourers have begun assembling a 10-storey building in Punjab's Mohali district. They claim it will take them just 48 hours to complete the work. (See pictures) The building is being constructed using pre-fabricated steel structure technology. Three cranes have been pressed into service to assemble the pre-fabricated roof and walls, which have been prepared in the factory.The concrete foundation for the building had already been prepared, while the pre-fabrication took three months in the factory.

Work at the construction site began at 4:30 pm and in just a half an hour, the roof of the ground floor had been assembled. Work will continue through the night as well.The company, Synergy Group, claims that the building will be eco-friendly as it will consume less power and it is also certified as earthquake and shock-proof by the Centre for Industrial and Scientific Research (CSIR).
