As far as getting that building up in 6 days its no that crazy because of how it was designed. The levels were built in blocks and the floors played no role in the structural stability. The floors were prefabbed as well so there was no drying time on concrete, it is just like putting a giant erector set together.
As far as US construction standards,inspectors at least in nj are complete BS they slow up construction until the builder "greases" their hands enough to start approving plans,union labor is bs for numerous reasons aswell.
The current house I live in was constructed by american union workers and had town inspectors check the build out, and this house is built like garbage. I have nails popping out of my ceilings because they never tapped over the nails before they did Spackle, spanning supports in my attic are literally falling off the joists. I discovered last week my bathroom ventilation fan was held in with deck screws wedged between the housing and drywall.
Just like anything in life you get what you pay for the most part if you go with the lowest bidder for a construction job there is a reason why they can do it the cheapest. My family got screwed because we paid the price of a quality house, cant wait to sell this shit hole.
