How Long Does It Take to Build a House?

Typical times

• 5 marla double storey: about 7–9 months complete
• 10 marla double storey: about 10–12 months complete
• 1 kanal: about 12–15 months complete
• Grey structure alone: roughly half of these

Stage by stage

Foundation 3–4 weeks; each floor's frame and roof slab 4–5 weeks including curing; brickwork 2–3 weeks per floor; plaster and services 5–6 weeks; finishing 3–4 months. Try our construction time planner.

What causes delays

Late payments, design changes after work starts, materials not on site, approvals, monsoon rain and labour shortages around Eid. A clear design, a payment plan and a written schedule prevent most of them.
