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.
