I am currently in the process of building three houses on the one (community titled) site. What is an acceptable build time for a project like this?
All houses are pretty much identical, with three bedrooms, two way bathrooms and very basic landscaping.
Cheers

I'd be expecting 9-12 months depending upon the complexity of the project, the quality of the project manager/builder, issues in the ground, extent of consultant involvement (design), adequate funding for variations/contingencies, weather etc.
I agree with Scott No Mates. 9 – 12 months is about average.
So for a relatively straightforward project, ie, no ground issues, no design issues, no funding issues etc, would 6 months from the laying of the slab to handover be considered a good turnaround time?

I've built quite a few properties and something always crops up which delays the project ie rain, getting the right tradesmen at the right time, materials such as kitchen appliances not available. 6 months is possible if everything falls into place.
I know it's extreme but I've got a mate who has still hasn't got his project finished after 24 months. His builder is not going to go bust, just lots of issues.
