How a TT is built

Back in 1990, the Habitat for Humanity affiliate in Nashville, Tennessee built a house in 6 hours flat to establish a Speedbuild record for Habitat for Humanity. Pensacola, Florida took up the challenge and knocked a few minutes off at 5 hours 57 minutes. Planning by the Manukau affiliate in Auckland, New Zealand commenced in 1998 with a project dubbed "Sub6". However, on 12 June 1998, word was received that the Nashville affiliate had reclaimed the record in emphatic fashion by building a 3 bedroom house in just 4 hours 39 minutes. The New Zealanders refocused, renamed their project "Sub4" and went on to lower the record to 3 hours 44 minutes and 59 seconds on 13 March 1999. The house was 4 bedrooms and approximately 1000 sq ft. The record and a handsome trophy is now held by Shelby County, Alabama affiliate at an incredible 3 hours 26 minutes and 34 seconds, having set that time on 18 December 2002.
