Let = number of workers needed to finish job in 45 days
I'll try to get everything in terms of hours.
A 40 hr week is 8 hrs /day, since

45 days is hrs to meet deadline
Each worker needs to work hrs
I can say that the rate of n workers working together
must equal 1 house done in 360 hrs

2 workers are needed. This is just a stab at it.
I'm not sure, and you should get another opinion, too
