Singh claimed that the construction technology, first of its kind in the country, is unique in many ways, including the cost saving factor.
All the components of the building were manufactured in the factory, pre-fitted with floors and other essentials including provisions for water supply, wiring, sanitation and air conditioning ducts.
The concrete has been used only in the foundations and three inch deck floorings in the nut and bolt structure. The process to construct 'INSTACON' had started at 4.30 pm on Thursday and was to be completed in record 48 hours.
"It is an ultra fast construction technology with less than 20 per cent of work at the site. There is minimal emission of flying dust and less pollution of water at site. The building can stand for 600 years, has been cleared to withstand a high-risk Zone-V category earthquake," Singh said.
He claimed that the building had necessary approvals from local bodies and other departments, and added other approvals, including water and sewerage, will be taken as the structure has just been completed.
