Whether you are erecting BuildFast buildings as temporary structures - to get a roof over a family's head tonight - or as permanent structures, the construction process is simple and easy.   Except for the optional electric wiring and plumbing work, all construction work can be done by unskilled individuals with minimal training. 

Step 1:  Lay a foundation out of concrete blocks, which can easily be purchased locally.  A small trench ("footing") at least 16" wide and 16" deep  should be dug to help anchor the house.  Lengths of rebar, which can be supplied with the House Kits, are inserted into the ground manually, and provide the basis for attaching the BuildFast panels to the foundation. At this time, a concrete slab, or paving stones, can be used to create a simple floor in the interior of the building.
	Step 2:  Erect panels to create the walls of the house.  The panels easily fit on top of, and attach to, the Rebar coming out of the foundation.   At this stage, the panels will stand upright, but will not be connected to each other.  Openings for doors and windows will come pre-cut with House Kits.
Step 3:  Fasten panels together by hand with a simple tool, which is included with the house kits.  The tool attaches the wire mesh from adjacent panels with metal rings.
	Step 4:  Attach roof to house by hand, using the same tool used to attach walls together.   Even with a core of expanded polystyrene, and without its strengthening concrete shell, the unfinished panels are strong enough to withstand the weight of people during roof construction.
Step 5:  Apply concrete to house walls and roof, both exterior and interior.  Concrete can be applied by hand using a trowel, which is supplied with the House Kit.  If workers do not have ladders, they can fashion scaffolding from materials on hand, as shown in this photo.
	Step 6:  Install windows and doors, and any other finish work desired.
