What’s the Timeline for Building a Home?

‍
One of the biggest questions we get at Envision Homes is: “How long does it take to build a new construction home?” While build times can vary, most homes take between 6-9 months from contract to completion.
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect at each stage of the build process.

‍
📅 Step 1: Pre-Construction (1-2 Months)

‍
✅ Select your lot and floor plan
✅ Finalize financing & approvals
✅ Design meeting for finishes and customizations
✅ Permitting & scheduling
📌 Pro Tip: The faster you finalize your selections, the smoother your timeline will be!

‍
🏗️ Step 2: Foundation & Framing (1-2 Months)

‍
🏠 Excavation & foundation poured
🛠️ Framing goes up (walls, roof, doors, windows installed)
🔌 Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins begin
📌 Pro Tip: This is when your home starts looking like… well, a home!

‍
🎨 Step 3: Interior & Exterior Finishes (2-3 Months)

‍
✅ Drywall, insulation, and painting
✅ Flooring, cabinetry, and countertops installed
✅ Landscaping & exterior details completed
📌 Pro Tip: Now’s the time to start planning furniture and decor!

‍
🏡 Step 4: Final Inspections & Walkthrough (1 Month)

‍
✔️ Quality control checks
✔️ Appliance installation
✔️ Final walkthrough & closing
Once everything is perfect, you’ll get the keys and be ready to move in!

‍
Total Timeline: 8-10 Months with weather, etc.

‍
While some factors (like weather and supply chains) can impact build times, our team at Envision Homes works hard to keep projects on schedule so you can move in as soon as possible.
