The Saudi Housing Ministry erected a 124 square meter one-storey house in just 48 hours using precast modular concrete.
This is the first house built using the technique and is a part of the new initiative on the sidelines of the Future Investment Initiative which was held in Riyadh recently.
The property which is soundproof, anti-fire and earthquake-resistant, has been built by Katerra American construction company and Saudi engineers.
The assembling of the house onsite started on Sunday noon and was ready along with furnishing by Tuesday noon, reported Al Arabiya.

"The house was built using precast concrete modular, meaning that the house's structure resembles cubicles in the way it's assembled," said Nhet.
