How long does Kobza take to build custom homes?
It normally takes about 9-12 months to build a home well.
We often have homeowners ask why we are not working on their home when it appears to be ready to sheetrock (and why is the heat cranked up?). The answer? We are letting it dry.
This adds to the construction time but is necessary for a quality job. Do you really want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a home built in 90 days?
We do not rush the job. We don’t claim to be the fastest builder out there. One of the most important things about building the structure of the home is making sure that it is dry before it is covered. This is especially true in the winter. Wood contains a lot of moisture and when this moisture leaves the wood it shrinks.
If the drywall is applied before the house is properly dried it will crack. This appears to be settling but it is in fact caused by shrinking. A little cracking is normal but to avoid a lot the frame needs to dry before it is covered.
