Answer:
Usually larger and more complex than a production home, a custom home, logically, will take longer to build. In fact, according to the latest available U.S. Census Bureau’s Survey of Construction, the average time it took to take a new home from authorization to completion in 2017 was 6.6 months for a built for sale or spec house, 9.1 months for a contractor-built house, and 12.5 months for an owner-built home.
Those figures, however, document only construction time. It’s more than the actual construction process – or the sheer size of the home – that extends completion time for custom homes. It’s the fact that, by definition, a true custom home means that nothing has been pre-planned.
On production or model homes, potential home sites have been pre-selected and likely improved, the house has been designed and modeled, and all the products and features (except for limited options) are already build in. Not so with a custom home. None of that is done in advance for a true custom home. With a custom home, you’re starting from scratch and completion will require a number of additional, time-consuming steps by you, the buyer.
