              Chandigarh: A 
              10-storey building, set to come up in just 48 hours! A businessman 
              in Chandigarh claims it is possible, and he will prove it.
 Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal is set to lay the 
              foundation stone of the 10-storey building, INSTACON, Thursday.
 
 The brain behind the project, businessman Harpal Singh, says the 
              building will be ready within two days.
 
 The building is set to come up in Industrial Area Phase-I of 
              Mohali town, 10 km from here.
 
 Harpal Singh claims this is the first building of its kind in the 
              country.
 
 The whole building is pre-fabricated, manufactured at the factory. 
              There are doors that are ready to be fitted in, floors, water 
              supply and wiring components, all ready to be shifted.
 
 "All the components have been manufactured already, doors that can 
              be pre-fitted, water supply components, wiring, sanitation, air 
              conditioning ducts and everything else. These will be shifted in 
              state-of-the-art transporting vehicles to the actual site for 
              installation," Singh said.
 
 He claimed that new construction technology would enable owners of 
              such buildings to generate revenue within days, instead of waiting 
              for months and years before the building is complete.
 
 He said that the technology could revolutionise the whole 
              infrastructure sector and speed up construction of commercial 
              towers, luxury hotels, high-rise buildings, hospitals, educational 
              institutions, universities and retail outlets.
 
 Singh said architects, planners and engineers were being invited 
              to witness the construction of INSTACON.
