| Q:
How long does it take to build a home? |
| A:
While small homes and additions take approximately 12 weeks to
complete, |
| larger projects
often take 3 – 6 months. Custom design homes may require
up to a year |
| or more. |
| |
| Q:
Do I need a contractor if I am building a home? |
| A:
Yes. A general contractor can help you plan your project, hire
workers, and ensure |
| that mistakes
are not made at your expense. Hiring a contractor can help you
save money |
| in the long
run and avoid needless hassles. |
| |
| Q:
Is there a standard calculation to use when trying to figure out
building costs? |
| A: No. Each
construction project is unique and has different associated costs.
The only |
| construction
jobs whose costs can be standardized are tract homes. Square foot
pricing is just |
| an approximation
at best in most cases. |
