Quote from: SeriousThey tend to use concrete foundations and once they start the build they go up at a rate. The limit is the speed of the cement drying some go up at more than a foot per day. The outer of a modern brick built can be up in a month and another couple to finish it off.

As bear says prefabs can go up in a day providing the foundations are finished. Wood built houses can take a little longer.

where the hell did you pull that from?


the curing process is quite long, if the cement is stable then it can be built upon. 6 months is a good time imo. i know they use a modern process in the foundations involveing a magnesium compound. however if they add to much it will create a weaker more brittle compound.


patience :)
