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.

In addition to the prefabrication everyone has talked about, they also tended to cut corners and generally perform shoddy workmanship. Quality takes time. If you’re focused on the deadline quality gets deprioritized.
