At House & Cottage, we are often asked how long it takes to build a home? Well, that depends on the size of the job, crew size and experience. We've known house projects that have gone together in about a month and others which were weekend projects, take as long as two years. However, the following chart shows the schedule of a typical house by a professional builder. Realize, if you are an average DIYer with three to five people of minimal skill, its going to take longer...
