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.

Pre-built sections that were inspected earlier. They weren’t pouring and redoing the foundation, I’m sure.
Also, the speed at which the interiors are finished lead to very poor quality results once all the ‘beauty lighting’ and carefully planned camera moves go away and the house is actually being lived in. HGTV’s “Love it or List it” has had several lawsuits filed against the network and the contractors they use because it turns out rushing the work leads to the rushed work breaking pretty darn quick.
