Omitting the time spent on looking for a lot, the designing usually takes 2-3 months, permit from the city authorities takes up around 2-3 months and around a year for construction (of a 4-5k square foot home). It can obviously vary according to your project and the situation that comes up. Sometimes, even if your house is smaller in size, it can take up a lot of time due to the complexities of it like a special ceiling or the mechanical or electrical needs to it. Sometimes even finishes in your kitchen or bathroom can be very complicated and time-consuming. There are other scenarios that can prolong your project as well for example if you keep getting setbacks from the local authorities on permission regarding building the place. One of the problems people usually face is height restriction if people decide to build too heightened of a building. Other issues could be your lot is too close to a watercourse or you have heritage restrictions. And lastly, your project could simply be too large and complex for it to be completed in a comparatively shorter time period.
