This typically takes a couple months. c. Plan approval process: at least a month, also involves builder reaching out to trades to get budget information 2. Construction phase (build time): 10-12 months from breaking ground to getting the keys - depends on how big the house is and the design behind it Variables: a. Foundation b. Framing c. Roofing, siding d. Electrical, Plumming, gas lines e. Drywall, flooring f. Painting, finishing (including appliance installation) g. Landscaping Rough total: 18 months (some less, some more)
