I typically cringe when I get asked this question because there is no straight forward answer and it varies by builder, how busy the industry is, and numerous other variables.  Let’s break this down and give you a ROUGH IDEA of what to expect.  Again, this varies greatly!  Shoot me a text or give me a call and let’s discuss what you are considering and I can give you a more current educated guess on what you might expect.

The quickest way to get into a new construction home in Southern Hills Plantation is to purchase an inventory home from one of the builders.  These homes are either completed or at some stage of the build that will get you into the home quicker than if you start from scratch.  The primary advantage to a “quick move-in” home in Southern Hills is getting in quicker and still getting a brand new, never lived in home.  There are numerous drawbacks but, maybe you are ok with these.  The first drawback is location.  If none of the inventory homes are on a lot that you and your family like, you may have to compromise.  Next, is that the design elements have already been selected.  If you are building with a builder that does not allow you to change anything or change a relatively small amount of options, this doesn’t really affect you.  If you are building with Perry Homes, AR Homes, or any builders who have design centers and allow you to make many custom upgrades, buying one of their quick move-in homes takes that opportunity away.  If you purchase an inventory home you may be able to get into the home in as little as 30-60 days.

Some of the builders in Southern Hills Plantation do not allow you to make any or very few customizations to your new home.  If you select one of these home, build times can be faster than some of the more customizable homes.  Terrata and Spire are two examples of builders who offer fewer customizable features.  As a result, so report having one of these homes built in 6-8 months from time of groundbreaking.

The more customizable homes take the longest to build.  Some builders in Southern Hills Plantation offer minor (adding a shower, changing cabinets, adding built-ins) to major (moving walls, adding on rooms, major structural alterations) customizations and, therefore, take much longer to complete.  Much of the time that is added with these builds comes from new blueprints, electrical plans, and elevations having to be designed, inspected, and approved.  These builds may take 8 months and up depending on the level of customization.  Give me a call if you are considering building a custom home in Southern Hills so we can discuss what to expect for your situation.

One of the most variable aspects to build times in Southern Hills is homes in a builder’s que.  Builders often tell you how long it will take to build your home but…  from when?  At times, some of the builders in the community have gotten so backed up it was taking 18 months to even start on customer’s homes.  Again, let me know what you are considering and I can give you a more current view of what times all of the builders are running.
