How long does it take to build custom home on your lot?

This is a question get asked pretty often...

“How long does it take to build a custom home on my lot?”

It’s not as easy to answer as it can vary on a number of factors but a rough rule of thumb you can use is 3 months for every 1,000 SQFT of living area once break ground. Keep in mind the planning process before hand is on a separate time table depending on where you currently are in the process. We have people reaching out to us about building a custom home on their land with questions all across the board from having plans already to just narrowing down a lot so keep this in mind as well, the plan process needs to be accounted for. 

The actual custom home build time frame can vary when building on your lot depending on items such as excavation / clearing needed, level of finish outs, specialty items ordered, custom features, weather, material demand, selections, change orders, etc.

Just keep in mind when asking “how long it will take to build your custom home” speed is not always the goal...a quality custom home on your lot takes time and special attention.
