I know enough about construction to know that a foundation needs at least 2 weeks to cure enough to be built on, yet in the show, they manage to tear down and rebuild an entire house in 7 days? How did they do this? Most of the framing would be modular/prefab so that would be easy to build inside of a wee,.but how do they overcome the obvious issues such as the concrete needing at least two weeks to cure, plus having the city/county/state inspectors inspect each aspect of the build? Or is it more likely that the house takes a month or two to build and with the magic of editing they make it appear that it only took one week.

I worked for a hardwood floor company that installed floors in a house that was on this show.
Trying to install a floor with dozens of other trades working at the same time (in the middle of the night) was a pain in the ass.
Some rooms had a glue down floor. People walked on it before the glue dried and gaps opened up everywhere. Guys had to go back to this job multiple times to fix things afterwards.
I also heard the slab didn’t dry enough before the framing went up and there were big issues with that, too.
