How long does a typical construction project take?

At Empire Construction, a construction company in Toronto, one of the most frequently asked questions by clients is how long does a construction project take? However, in this blog, we will give a brief description of the construction process and the general time frame of the construction project.

Firstly, the construction process can be broadly divided into five stages: These are the pre-construction phase, the construction phase, the installation phase, the finishing phase and the completion phase. Pre-construction phase includes planning, designing and acquiring permits which may take a few weeks to a few months. This stage is important in laying the groundwork for the project and is therefore a critical stage.  

After the pre-construction phase, the construction phase ensues and this entails the physical construction of the structure. This stage may last from several months to a year or even more, depending on the scale and the degree of difficulty of the work. In this stage, the team of professionals is engaged in the implementation of the project and its timely completion within the set budget.  

Following the construction phase, the installation phase is the next phase that involves installation of electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. This stage can take a few weeks to a few months depending on the project that is being undertaken. In regard to installation processes, our team is always ready to cooperate with the clients to achieve the best results. 

The last stage is the final touches where the interior work such as floor, painting, fixtures and fitting are done. This stage can take a few weeks to a few months depending on the size of the project. Our team is very particular with the outcome of our work to make sure that it will be satisfactory to our clients.  

Lastly, the completion stage is characterized by final inspection and issuance of occupancy permits. This stage can last from several weeks to several months depending on the jurisdiction and the project’s scale. 

Therefore, it can be concluded that the duration of a construction project can be long depending on certain factors. However, at Empire Construction, we are in a position to deliver the projects in the most efficient and effective manner with no compromise to quality and safety.
