How long does it take from.....
 

How long does it take from the time, you buy a land in OZ & have your house built on it, friend my hsband said it takes exactly one year, it just seems such long time, I thought it would a take a lot less time.

we found a builder first...got his time frames and then bought the land....that saved us heaps in rates(as you still pay rates on the land whether it has a house on it or not)

theres a few house building threads on here. just do a search on house building;)

As a "very" approximate guide ...

2 storey = 18 months - 2 years

Single storey = 9 months - 1 year

Our build started at the beginning of October 2006 and we hope have the keys within a month.

Talk to me about builders in SA. We bought land and had already signed up with a builder before we backed out. Feel free to PM me and I'll give you the lowdown on who to avoid.

we settled the land at the beginning of october 06, moved into newly built house 21 dec 06, our builder had his own contractors who worked solely on our house so i think thats why it was so quick !!!

Takes along time. From the people i know here it has taken 12, 15, 18 months..even longer for some. My brother bought his land 2 years ago and still waiting to move in.
