It was hand framed, and a portion of that time was in the winter. We signed paperwork in December and moved into the house in August. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-729185 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:25:28 +0000 CottonCandy 729185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think it depends on if your are building a stick built of a modular...I know modulars are much quicker to put up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-729169 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:22:15 +0000 LaurenEC 729169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We signed our papers in March, but they didn't break ground until May. We moved in Sept 1. So it was about 3-4mo for the build part. It took about 1-2mo for them to get the appropriate permits, etc. Sometimes the timeframe is based on how long it will take to get the appropriate city permits, and stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-729153 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:17:36 +0000 Turd Ferguson 729153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like, 3-4 months. Not long at all, but it also wasn't a "custom" house, it was more of a "cookie-cutter" one (plans already existing, builder already had contractors for each step, etc.).</p> <p>ETA: We're still waiting on our driveway and landscaping--winter hasn't been kind to us this year, but from ground break to us moving in it didn't take long at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-728913 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 08:57:39 +0000 doodlepoodle 728913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are talking to a builderand he said from ground break to move in would b 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-728605 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 07:01:39 +0000 Beebug 728605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are many builders in our area that aren't closing until 2014. Friends of ours bought last August, and have a June 2014 closing! Our first house was 6 months, second house will be 6.5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-728585 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 06:40:23 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 728585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10???? That seems like a long time. Ours will be done in 5. We were lucky to get in at just the right time before their business took off again, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-728547 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:48:18 +0000 StrawberryBee 728547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work for a home builder. It depends on the climate in your area (does it get very cold? Is it very rainy?), how long it takes to pull permits in your township, how many homes they have queued up to be built before yours, whether they stick frame vs truss build, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-728268 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 22:01:37 +0000 PrincessBaby 728268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our builder says 6. We shall see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-728220 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:46:18 +0000 heartonastring 728220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, if I remember correctly, I think we started in early April and closed at the very end of August....so five months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-727993 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:06:19 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 727993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our friends just built a 1900 sq ft home and it took them about 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-build-your-home#post-727968 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:04:21 +0000 chopsuey 727968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or know someone who built..<br /> How long did it take? </p> <p>Our builder's saying it'll take around 10 months. </p>
