The 100 Day Build

September 14, 2024
Modern Home Build


Efficiency is the first word I think of when I hear a 100 day build. To Lawrence General Contractors, this is the project target on every custom home build for a real estate investor on a single family or duplex without skimping on details or finishes. This enables our clients to spend minimal times within a construction loan to help them exit within the time frame of their interest reserve to capitalize on returns.


It's far too often, we hear of single family homes that are sub 4,000 square ft taking six, nine or even twelve months; adding unnecessary finance costs to a real estate investor's bottom line. While building a house from ground up or a complete gut with an addition in 100 days or less (post-permits) seems like a daunting challenge, this feat can be accomplished through careful planning, time-management, and clear communication to ensure materials are delivered on target and sub-contractors managed effectively to execute within established timelines.


Integrating systems like Houzz, and Company Cam enable our sub-contractors to effective communicate within a centralized system to help reduce misfires that may throw a 100 day build off schedule. Under this same approach, managing material vendors are another critical aspect within this. By ordering materials in advance with reasonable time buffers, it allows each specific trade to have ample time in completing each particular stage of the construction project.


Time delays are certainly expected but if properly planned can reduce the overall impact so that time schedules are not jeopardized. If you are a real estate investor starting your first development or a seasoned real estate investor completing multiple builds each year, give Lawrence General Contractors a call to help you complete your new construction or remodels more efficiently.
