Time lapse of home constructed start to finish

A time lapse project of a custom home built by Weaver Homes -- a division of Weaver Companies, Inc. Original footage was captured at 1 photo every 30 seconds over a 6 month period resulting in 45 days of capture and over 70,000 photos. Images we edited in Adobe Lightroom 3, combined in Quicktime Pro at 30 frames/sec and compiled in iMovie 11. Most clips were then sped up by 200-400% to produce this short movie. Enjoy!

The trees in the background watching as they get made into a house 🌲

Now I see why houses simply fly away when tornado comes. Matchbox house.

I'm so glad they decided to film this, this is so satisfying to watch

I'm a civil engineer in Germany and I have to say that this construction can not be made to last. I guess it's inexpensive at least... But the main problems I see are:

- missing anti-capillary(?) layer
- missing foundation
- missing waterproofing to the ground
- missing wall insulation (temperature and acoustics)
- no additional acoustic insulation in the wooden beam ceiling
- questionable roof construction (no vapor barrier, no sturdy roofing tile)

I have to say the combination of massive and timber construction is quite interesting though, as both materials have advantages to themselves. Under the bottom line, I prefer constructions which are made to last (at least 50-70 years) and provide a good amount of insulation and weather protection.

Lol the rocks mask the fact that this is basically a plywood hut

1st second: "What a beautiful STONE house"....

[KeldwinPortes]

Unfortunately there are lots of people that do not understand the time and effort that goes into building a beautiful home like this one! Good job guys.

House in 8 minutes is impressive, but I would invest the extra 10 seconds next time to make a foundation.

This could be a $600, 000 house or $6, 000, 000 depending on where u r in the US

[forgodzsake]

I’m surprised how one single company finished the whole house - both interior and outside. That makes the house so well finished as every bit including details like lights and furnitures were planned by designers.

I am deeply impressed by their professionalism and structural integrity! Thank you all for posting that extremely hard work! More awesome and prosperity to you!

[BangMaster]

All this hard work and effort, and one hurricane comes and it's all grounded

I like to watch these time lapse house building videos every once in a while, and every single time without fail, the comments are just full of people complaining about how much they hate wood houses 😆😆

[NakitaCherie]

Was anyone else amazed by seeing the change of the seasons by the trees in the it was beautiful😍

[Questchaun]

Now! That's what I call a m
McMansion!

Why would anyone want a house made out of ... wood? I understand they might be cheaper and that wood is more abundant there but still...this is one of the reasons why houses in the USA succumb to tornadoes and fires so easily... living in a wood house instead of a house made of bricks and cement. The house looks great though but they didn´t even put in any foundation...

[zachanikwano]

I did not expect the comments to be so negative.

The stone wall outside is more structurally secure than the house
