From super-tall skyscrapers to impossibly lavish casino resorts, constructing mega buildings is not a cheap task. It will set you back millions and even billions of dollars. A building is briefly defined as a structure with a roof and walls, standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory. Airports are excluded as their construction cost includes runways and systems.
