Broad group of China’s factory mass produced skyscrapers are a major disruptive technology. This will be a disruption of real estate with a profitable technology and sustainable business model
Broad Group has plans to get 30% of the global construction market. It could take until about 2025 instead of 2020.
The Global construction industry will be about $6.7 trillion industry in 2020. 30% of the global construction industry would be over $2 trillion.
They have cost advantages are over 10X better than western construction (Freedom tower over $12000 per square meter instead of $1100 per square meter) and even 1.3 to 4X cheaper than other skyscraper construction in China.
They have over a 10X speed advantage by building 30 story buildings in 15 days. Perhaps 3 months including factory module construction and the foundation. 50 stories will take about 25 days + factory work and foundation.
6 times less energy cost and cleaner air
