Question:
Lizette, I've been told that it usually takes 4 -6 months to build a house. Will I have to wait that long? I only need one that is about 1500 square feet. That seems like a long time. Mike A.
Answer:
Mike A., It really depends on the builder and the weather.
Well... maybe the sub-contractors too.
I just closed on a house today that took just a little over a month to build.
I asked the builder what was the fastest house he ever built start to finish and he said '14 days!'
What was amazing was the quality of this builder's homes. Absolutely top quality.
One of my home inspectors said the quality was unusual for a smaller home. There was pride in the workmanship. Not even a bad spot of paint anywhere during my final walk-through.
The difference may be that the builder has his own team of seasoned professionals for every job on the construction and he owned his own heavy equipment.
No sub-contractors used at all. Kind of like watching extreme home makeover at work. With the right team...miracles can happen.

Most of the area I sell doesn't have new construction anymore...I LOVE the smell of new houses and the looks of new, fun materials! Ahhh!
Congrats on your closing!

Lizzette - What's incredible is that the builder was able to build and entire home in only 14 days and it was "top quality" - we could use builders like that were I live!
Lizette
Amazing how fast the builders are by you; six months here.
Lizette: I love your Q&A series! This is an incredible story and that is a builder I would hold on to!
But then, there's always the weather...!
Lizette In the case you mention is is a rare, but welcome case of pride when your name is on it
Lizette,
Ahhh! No subcontractors used at all certainly makes the difference. 14 days is miraculous.. g
Lizette--WOW 14 days sounds like the extreme home makeovers show! That's fast!
I hope your Valentines Day was wonderful today!
14 days... wow.... our house took 13 months to build. I hope Lizette you had a terrific Valentine's Day...
Lizette - It always amazes me how fast a home can really be built.
Lizette - Fourteen days is amazing. We are not seeing mych new construction in my area.
Holy Cow!! 14 Days! Really? How did they coordinate all the utilities and hookup inspections? We have a lot of new construction in my area and they are quite fast, but no 14 day completions...
Lizzete~14 days that's fast. In Seattle it takes allot longer due to the running inspection process. I like the Q & A format!
