The build week is the week the car is finished in, which can be any day. Building from start of welding the chassis/body work, a matter of days. Mine went into "production" on the Monday of build week, finished Friday late afternoon out of the factory. Some will obviously start the week before and finish earlier in the build week.

Here's a link on the factory just before Sciroccos started which will give you an idea about it all.
