In the 1980s, Jehovah's Witnesses began using quick-build plans and processes that enabled them to completely erect a new Kingdom Hall over the span of two weekends.  The first weekend is set aside for the pouring of the foundation.  The second weekend is set aside for construction activities that culminate in a fully finished (down to wallpaper, paint, carpet, and electrical) building ready to receive final approval by local zoning committees.
