Episode 79: How long does it REALLY take to build a new home?


9th December 2024 | 28m 57s

In this episode we explain how long it can take to go from a signed contract to a site start, and then how long to allow for your build time as well. We explain the reasons for the timeframes and why it is often so difficult to get a final completion date commitment from your builder too.
