They are using pre-fab (not sure if this article mentioned that). Makes things so much easier where buildings can be built in factories with similar standards. Lots of new builds nowadays have so many little issues due to bad quality control.

Even with prefab components this is an amazing achievement. I suspect that here in Germany we would still be waiting for the hospital to treat the Marburg virus patients to be completed.

I read about the airport debacle in Germany, were you perhaps referring to that?

Yes. And some other major projects that failed in the same region.
