Whether you’re a resident of the Sunshine State or a snowbird looking to flock south, you may be wondering about the best time to build a house in Florida. Now! Well… there is a little more to the answer, so let’s get to it. Here’s what the residential construction experts at Synergy Homes have to say:

When Is the Best Time to Build a House in Florida?

We’ve been in the residential construction field for years, and with experience comes deep insight into this market. Our team is capable of building homes in every calendar month, but certain times are better than others in terms of minimizing delays and keeping costs contained. 

What to Expect When Building a Custom Home

 

Building a House in the North

In the north, home builders have to consider the weather – but they are typically worried about freezing temperatures, snow, and ice that makes work not only difficult but dangerous.

Building a House in FL

In Florida, we have to factor in extreme heat. In July, for example, the mercury can soar into the 90s. Triple digits are not unheard of either. This makes it hazardous to builders and crews. Again, it’s not impossible to build in the summer, but it is something to think about.

Florida’s other season – hurricane season – also plays a role. From June to November, we’re vulnerable to severe storms, heavy rains, and strong winds. Now, since the season is so long, your home builder will likely work on your home at least during part of it. In this case, they have to pay close attention to the forecast, and you may run into delays that are just unavoidable.

Now, in the residential construction industry, fall and winter tend to be “off-season” (though this does depend on demand, which has been strong and steady). You may be able to score deals on labor costs and even materials. Lumber prices, for example, usually drop. Given our temperate winters, this is often a great time to build.

Building a House When It’s the Right Time for YOU

The best time to build a house in Florida is when it is right for you. When you have the right home builder on your side, you have an invaluable partner in the process who can help you make these important decisions.
