Owner-built single-family homes in the United States had the longest construction timeline in 2022. While houses built by their owners took 13.4 months from their authorization by a building permit to their completion, that same process only lasted nine months in the case of built-for-sale houses. Nevertheless, multifamily homes were the most time-intensive type of residential construction project.
