I don't know if you think the same way I do about this reality show?

I work for an architect firm and even the best designer here will take
several days before making up his mind and finalize a project as simple
as a bathroom remodel. Now we're talking of redesigning a complete
house (and not a small one) for a client the designer(s) don't even
know in the first place. Just the construction alone of a 300K$ is
nearly impossible in a week even if you staff it with 10 000 workers.
You reach a point where the number of worker becomes a nuisance and
slows down the entire project. Plaster, paint, varnishes and all those
products need time to dry too.

I think this TV show lies to the public at least on one aspect: they
have work prepared already before showing up at the door of the lucky
family. The design and the construction dwgs are already made minus
maybe a few details, the prefab house has been ordered already and
ready to ship, etc.

What do you guys believe?

The home they just built in a week is near where I live, they did build it
in the time they stated, in the rain a large majority of the time. They had
people working on it 24 hours a day.

Of course they have it planned out ahead of time, it is VERY orchestrated
and planned to meet deadlines, many local companies and contractors were
involved, and the local news followed it very closely.

For the most part, what you see is what really happened.
