A Snap Together House Kit

Did this house, featured on fastcodesign, only take six weeks to build?
"Hunting for a new house? Soon, you can yank one right out of a machine.
A pair of Danish architects partnered with Facit homes, a London-based digital fabrication and architecture specialist, to construct a two-bedroom house out of parts produced in a rapid-prototyping machine. The 1,250-square-foot Villa Asserbo--named for the small Danish town 50 kilometers outside of Copenhagen, where the house sits--was built from 400 Forest Stewardship Council-certified Nordic plywood components designed in digital software, fabricated using a CNC miller, then snapped together (each part came with a number for easy assembly). All told, the house took just six weeks to build and cost $300,000."
