Cranes? We ain't got no cranes. We don't need no cranes. We don't have to use no steenkin cranes" (With apologies to John Huston.)

Downtown Montreal condo project being built from the roof down  
Quote:A Montreal construction company is building a 10-storey condo building from the top down... The process saw builders first assemble a first floor and a roof. The roof was then lifted and each floor then sandwiched below the roof.

No scaffolding or crane is required and the construction site does not spill into the street...

Construction workers also appreciate being sheltered from bad weather... Another advantage is that the method allows developers to adjust the height of their project during construction.
