Here in Canada it’s extremely common for ground works for a new subdivision to take over a year.
Individual houses can be done in a much shorter time, but digging a basement, setting all the forms, pouring the concrete, waterproofing the walls, underpinning the water management, and then back filling back to grade is not a quick process.
- dylan604 3y agoYou're comparing the time it takes a developer to clear the entire development to the time it takes to build a single house. These are not the same thing. That's comparing apples and oranges. Comparing the time for a house with no basement to one with a basement is comparing a granny smith to a red delicious.
- theluketaylor 3y agoEven a single house worth of ground works is 30-60 days pretty easily.
- dylan604 3y agoThat's about as fast as maple syrup. The ground around here never gets that cold, and basements are not a thing at all. So your 60 days is about 45 days behind schedule! Your sub-contractors are bilking the contractor ;-)
