Framing is a term used in stick built homes. In the panhandle of Florida the under roof phase is what we called being 'dried in'. Your framing is completed, normally about 10 days on a larger home, your roof trusses have been set, plywood nailed down and exterior windows and doors set in place, so basically work inside can go on even on rainy days.
The OP said within 5 days, that's probably not framing because even here it will take a week or more to frame a house, but he was watching a masonry home go up. Of the 88 homes on Odessa Circle in Tamarind Grove I've watched over half of them go up on my daily walks. Almost all are masonry and they can lay the block normally in a day and half on a designer home. You'll know it's going on when you see about 15 cars and trucks parked out front of a home site, the next day the walls are complete. I had heard years ago that a normal masonry designer will take about 57 days from start to finish, and I think that's about right.
