Build duration planning · Homeowners, NRNs & contractors
Estimate how long a house takes to build—stage by stage from layout to handover—based on built-up area, floors, structure type, work pace, approval wait and monsoon allowance.
Money, not labour, is the usual delay
Most Nepal house builds run long because a payment stage is not funded on time, not because the crew is slow. This model assumes funds are ready at every stage—if you are funding from abroad in instalments, plan the transfer before the stage starts.
Your estimate
A stage-by-stage build duration for your house, converted into calendar time with approval and weather allowances.
1,000 sq. ft. × 2 floor(s)
Normal pace, standard finishes
6 working days per week
Naksa pass submission to approval, before site work starts
402 calendar days end to end
Counting from today, if work starts immediately and funding never stalls
Planning estimate only. Durations are typical Nepal residential rates of progress, not a contractual programme. Material shortages, festival holidays, labour migration, design changes, difficult site access, foundation surprises and funding gaps all extend a build. Agree a dated programme with milestone dates in the contract, and track actual progress against it.
