[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These "foundation to keys in four months" stories seem impossible. I've never seen a custom project take less than a year. I mean, acclimating the flooring to the conditioned space ought to take a couple of months, and isn't happening while the drywall is off-gassing the moisture, and that's months after the wall close in is done so the HVAC is turned on.

I'm not OP, we're building now as well and my wife is scared to death that we're "moving too fast" with the home building project. From what I remember of our timeline: we looked for about a year and a half for a lot. So we started looking when rates were in the 3s and finally locked something in at like 5% 6 months ago.

We were told the entire process takes about 9-10 months, but it includes permits. We closed in late March, and didn't get the building permit until the first week of June, so it was 2 full months of just waiting. Foundation walls have been put in, and framing should start taking place within the next 2 weeks. Overall, we're looking at February before we move in, so almost a year. Months to actually build start to finish is about 5-6.

I could see 4 months if you're getting a spec home from the builder, something that they can pop in and easily do. [/quote]
