Also think of all the pre-construction hours in the planning, detailing and manufacture of all the component parts before work even starts in the ground!

Richtig Deutsche Gruendlichkeit. Klasse!
What a pity they weren't responsible for the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport which has only just opened (after the planned 2011 opening date) and 3x the original cost!

The problem at the BER was that politics were involved. When planning the airport, the social democrats had found the Hochtief construction company to be too expensive and announced: “If necessary, we'll build it ourselves.” Berlin, Brandenburg and the federal government, the shareholders of Flughafen GmbH, rejected a private general contractor and promised BER better and much cheaper to build.
