🏠 COMMON BUILDING QUESTION: How long does it take to build a new home?
One of the first questions we get from people thinking about building is, “How long will it take?”
The answer is: it depends on the home, but typically a normal build will run from 4-7 months with more custom builds reaching to to 7-9 months.
The size and complexity of the home, material availability, inspections, selections, and changes made during construction can all affect the timeline.
Weather can also play a major role. Rain, snow, extreme cold, and other conditions can impact certain phases of construction and occasionally cause delays.
One thing we’ve learned over the years is that a successful build starts with good planning. Having plans finalized and selections made on time helps keep the process moving and avoids unnecessary delays once construction begins.
