How Long Does It Take to Build a Custom Home or Remodel a Home

Every homeowner who contacts us wants to maximize the value of their property. They know that an accessory dwelling unit can provide tons of usability and even extra income.

Understandably, they want that value as soon as possible. So they ask, “How long will it take?”

While the actual time will always depend on the individual project, we are able to provide accurate, real-life timelines based on our many years of experience.

To help you get a good idea of how much time your project might take, we reviewed all of our completed projects. Here’s what we found:

• The maximum construction time was 13 months

• The fastest build was 4 months (this was during the 2010 recession, and everyone was ready to work at a moment’s notice)

• The average time to build a project is 8 months.

This includes projects that cost between $100,000 and $500,000.
