However we could certainly take some lessons from the Chinese in respect to efficiency to speed up the construction of our buildings. The problem with the building industry in Vancouver, and Western Canada in general is it takes some pretty significant investment in the infrastructure in order to pre-fabricate components. When wood frame condos are not ALL being pre-fabricated you know we have a long way to go. There are so many efficiency methods that are used around the world that would make a lot of sense, speed up construction timelines and decrease costs. The attitude of many in Vancouver is, "we've been doing it this way for 50 years, and it works, why would we change it" as a result when the new technologies come in, it often takes a decade for the technology and process to really take hold in Vancouver.
