My wife and I concluded our design meetings on 7/11 and were advised that building would commence on 7/24 and closing was scheduled for 9/27. The ground breaking took place on schedule and we now have complete block walls with ceiling joists on site for installation on Monday. I've been told that the roof will go on in one day by at least 2 different people. There are disincentives for the builder if the house isn't completed by the provided date and there are also disincentives for the owner if they aren't ready to close on that date. From what I've seen, I'd be surprised if the dates weren't accurate. Ours is a Zinnia (block, 3br and 3 bath). Sounds like about 69 days for construction.
