A Building in 29 Hours? China Did It – and Serbia Is Building Even Smarter!

China built a 10-story building in under 29 hours – but the modular revolution isn’t exclusive to China.
In the city of Changsha, China, the company Broad Group set a world record in construction speed: a ten-story building was completed in just 28 hours and 45 minutes. Using pre-manufactured modules assembled like Lego blocks, this company demonstrated what is possible with modern technology and a well-organized system.
But here’s what’s especially interesting – you don’t need to go to China to see how modular construction works. That same concept is used by Arhimod, a domestic modular building system developed by Serbian architectural and engineering expertise.
Modular means fast, precise, and stress-free – no months-long construction
Broad Group used container-sized modules, already equipped with installations, and with the help of three cranes and a well-trained team, assembled the entire building in less than 29 hours. This is construction without delays, without waiting on contractors, and without the classic “I’ll come next week” phrase.
Arhimod follows the same logic: pre-manufactured building elements are assembled on-site within a few days – without months of bricklaying, plastering, or coordinating various trades.
A system from Serbia, built for the world!
While the Chinese building, using B-Core steel plates, demonstrated earthquake resistance and energy efficiency, Arhimod’s modular buildings are designed to meet all the challenges of the local market – from seismic stability and thermal insulation to flexible spatial planning.
Our structures are adaptable, mobile, and easily upgradable. Importantly – they can serve as residential, commercial, tourist, or office spaces. And all this without complicated construction sites and with a clearly defined timeline.
The conclusion? The future is being built now.
What Broad Group achieved in China is impressive, but it’s not science fiction. It’s the reality of modular construction – and it’s happening here as well.
Arhimod modular homes are not just the answer to “how can I build something faster?” but also to the more important question: “how can I build smart, flexible, and stress-free?”
Modular construction isn’t the story of the future. It’s happening now. And it’s happening the Serbian way.
