re: How did they build all those houses so fast off Burbank by BREC?

I am not going to speak to your situation as I have no idea on location, when this took place, or size of the home, but there is no way in hell you are going from dirt to move in ready in 4 weeks in this day and age, and likely not in the last 20 years within a municipality.

Taking the most aggressive, lucky time-table possible and assuming the lot is graded, and its a 3/2 1500 ft home you are looking at the following at minimum:


-4 days to form, plumb, rebar, inspect, pour and 24 hour cure ready for framing.
-5-7 days for walls, wall sheering, roof rafters, roof decking, comp shingle roofing
-4-7 days for trade rough in, inspections. (Exterior doors and windows, Hardi, brick, stucco, etc on going). Insane but maybe doable.
-2 days for insulation and energy inspection. (Exterior continues)
-4 days for drywall, float tape texture (again, insane)
-7-10 days to hang trim, int doors, cabinets, install counters, paint interior and exterior, tile shower and tub walls and maybe bathroom floors. (again, insane and unlikely, but possible if no oil based paint is used and its above 65 deg)

In a perfect world, you are at 4 weeks with no final flooring, no final trades, no appliances, no driveway (not cured anyway), no sod, no clean-up, no dumpster and porta-potty removal, no final electrical meter, and no final inspection and certainly no certificate of occupancy. And it didn't rain, they worked 7 days a week including Sundays and a lot of nights, trades worked expediently with other trades up their arse (and vice versa) inspectors showed up and passed inspection the morning after work was completed, and there was not one issue with materials, labor, design, engineering, or one single delay amongst 7-10 subcontractors with their own scheduling, labor and material issues.

Not even the dumbass remodeling shows pretend this is possible. Well, some do, but...Hollywood.
