Has anyone ever seen the video tape (1980's vintage, I think) of some
people in San Diego building a house in 4 hours? Apparently it is a
normal house, stick built, fully inspected, etc.

Is it for real? Is there any technical information available about
the project? Maybe the methods can be extended to other types of
projects?

I've heard a few stories about Habitat for Humanity where the building
is done in a flash.

I helped on a 8 hour house in 1984 ( I think ) The project went over
by a coupla hours, but it was essentially ready to move into in 8.
Seemed like alot of planning and scheduling and I don't think the
quality is there. I believe in Alaska they do it often. There are
framing crews that can put a house up in a day, but again the quality
is not there. It seems like the months one would spend on scheduling
and planning would not pay off, but there are some advantages (qaulity
not being one)

They show that video in a "teamwork" training course at
Texas Instruments. It's impressive, they start with an
unexcavated dirt lot and wind up with a complete residence.
The only deviation that was mentioned from conventional
construction is that a special high-early-strength
concrete was used for the slab foundation. Sure, the
techniques can be applied elsewhere - that's why it's
a popular training video.

It's for real. Here's a link to part of the video on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTQT-9dnrr4
I use this in project management training to showcase time, scope, and risk management, as well as importance of strong communications and team work.

I worked on that project as a rough carpenter, stick built, no pre-fab components, no nail-guns, first time "High-Early" concrete was used warm weather pour. Each house had 3 city inspectors, corrections were remedied immediately to insure work flow was uninterrupted. This was fun at the time, but looking back now it was a privilege and honor as well as fun. :)
