The Greater Toronto Area 5-Day Build Project

By Thomas Cook • July 26th, 2010

Over 5 days, one Greater Toronto Area builder is going to attempt to build an entire 2,300 square-foot home, to be sold with proceeds going to support a new intensive care unit at the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital.

According to Halminen Homes, the home is expected to sell for over $400,000.

The home is being built in the town of Courtice (pronounced “Curtis”), Ontario, which is located only 70 kilometers east of Toronto, just past Oshawa. Building begins at 6 a.m. on Monday, August 9th and will last until Friday afternoon with the builders are working over time, 24 hours per day.

A team of over 100 people with Halminen Homes will build the home. Normally, a home of this size can take anywhere from 45 to 60 days to be built. The 5-day build also includes landscaping, furnishing, interior decor and a complete double-car attached garage.

If you’re interested in going to see the build, visit the builder’s blog.

I’ve heard a few things about this project and now looking at their blog and social media stuff I’m very intrigued. I’m definitely gonna have to make the trip out there. Sounds like a great idea for a great cause!

Really interesting idea!
