The timeline for completion of a new construction home can vary based on several factors, including the size and complexity of the home, the builder's schedule and resources, local building regulations, weather conditions, and any unforeseen delays. Read on to see an overview of what you might expect.

Pre-Construction Phase

·      Permitting and Planning: This phase can take several weeks to a few months, depending on how quickly permits are obtained and plans are finalized.

Construction Phase

·      Foundation and Framing: Typically takes 3-6 months, depending on the size and complexity of the home.

·      Rough Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC: 1-2 months.

·      Insulation and Drywall: 1-2 months.

·      Interior Finishes (flooring, cabinets, countertops, fixtures): 2-3 months.

·      Exterior Finishes (siding, roofing, landscaping): 1-2 months.

Final Inspection and Walk-Through

·      Once construction is completed, there will be a final inspection to ensure everything meets building codes and your specifications.

The entire process from start to finish can typically range from 6 months to over a year, depending on the factors we mentioned above. It's important to discuss the specific timeline with your builder and factor in potential delays that could arise during construction.
