Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 11, 2009 2:24 pm Hi, I was just wondering how long (on average) it takes to build a 21.5 square home from start to handover? We have had some very significant delays in out land release (from Oct 09 to Feb 10) and wondering what to do with the kids and school. Would be great to know the average time it might take. Cheers, Jeanette Re: Timeframe for building single story home?? 2Aug 11, 2009 2:36 pm Jeanette, Average for a single storey home would be 4-6 months. And massive differences either side of that. Some people will tell you stories of very quick builds i.e 12-13 weeks and other's will mention they have been going 9 mths on a single and still waiting. I'd hedge on 4-6 actual building time and 3-4 mths prior to this for Admin. As an example. We are basicly at lock-up stage on our place... all bricked, roof, elec etc and its been 7 weeks 2 days..We are finally getting some good things our way after waiting 10 mths ourselves for the land to release.

We're building a 26square single story and we've been allocated 260 days which I'm told is extremely generous (approx 8 months). We'll be starting in the next week or two, so we won't be finishing before the Christmas & New Year break which is why they've allocated a lot more time. 4-6 months seems typical, although if you're building with a small builder who concentrates on just one or two builds at a time then it's often much quicker.
