Home building is a complex process that many can take on, though it is often more efficient when executed by a professional crew. It can take anywhere from a few months to a year or more to build a home, depending on various contingencies; major variable factors include location, budget, and visual concept.
The local environment can drag out building time, due to rain, storms, and snow. Freezing temperatures can prohibit concrete work, and rains can oversaturate the ground, creating an unstable base for the foundation. Summer is the easiest season in which to work but also the busiest for construction, which means that the labor you will need to build the house may not be available.
Construction styles vary; customized homes with a lot of unique details may take longer for the builders to work out and approve. Homes with plans that have been used before or are smaller take a shorter amount of time because the crew may be more familiar with the layout, or the demands of the project may be clearer.
