Mark Zuckerberg says Frank Gehry’s software helped Facebook’s new building come in under budget, ahead of schedule

Mark Zuckerberg is happy.

Facebook’s newest building in Menlo Park, California, came together very quickly and under budget, even though it involved a superstar architect, Frank Gehry, Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, told the world earlier today.

“In the end, our building finished ahead of schedule and under budget,” Zuckerberg wrote in a description of a picture of a model of the building located in the real building, which Facebookers have started moving into. “It’s the only construction project I’ve ever heard of achieving this. It ended up costing us much less than any other major developments planned in Silicon Valley and taking way less time to build.”

Zuckerberg said Gehry has “special software” that allows him to be “very efficient.”

That’s the sort of thing to inspire jealousy in other tech executives looking to grow their companies’ facilities. Even homeowners expanding their homes might be jealous — home improvement projects rarely seem to finish on schedule or under budget.
