Are the homes that are built on the ABC show “extreme makeover, home edition”, built with quality?
Sep 3rd, 2008 by admin
Q: Since they’re building the house in anywhere between 5-7 days, is it possible that the house is built with quality? i don’t know anything about home maintenance/repair so just curious if a house that is built in a week is not going to fall apart in a few years and cost the homeowner $$$ to maintain the home. i mean i’m sure they’re doing their best effort but i certain things just take time to do a good job. nuts and bolts, nooks & crannies, etc.?
A: I think it should be ok, they’re professionals.

I don't see how you could build a quality house in that many days. It takes time to do things correctly. Things have to setup, dry, settle, whatever before you can do other things to them… I don't have any experience building a house but I wouldn't want to pay for one to go up in a week -I'd take it for free but I wouldn't pay for it. If you could do it correctly that fast why does it take 6 months or more in the "real world?"

The way they do it so fast is to use a huge crew with a lot of experience to do the core work and to direct the volunteers.
Is it quality? Well think about it! Would YOU do lousy work with the whole world watching? I don't think so. I know that I would do my best. And I would think that they would too.

I would think since the whole town is helping on the project than it would not take that long plus it is t.v. i`m sure they have people working day and night to get it finished and the work could be done if the right people are on the job

Yes. As long as the foundation is solid, a house can be built in short order, with quality, if you have teams of professional tradesmen at work round the clock.
Usually, a reputable company is contracted to build a house that is THEIR own specialty. This helps alot in saving time.
