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.

You can also still order full built, none doublewides houses, from magazines. They come fully furnished with everything set and ready to be moved in. Might take more than a week but there are so many many companies out there that have pre-fab houses ready to transport, hook up to water/sewer/power that all they do is haul it down make a foundation and hook things up.
Like others said somethings are done in advance but it’s totally possible to get a full on up to date home in time it takes to transport and hook up utilities. I can’t find it right now but there are magazines advertising these homes. You can get a 3 bed 2 bath fully ready to live in for 80k, plus whatever it costs for utility hook up.
