Does anyone know how long it takes roughly for builders to build a 4 bed detached with garage?

Thanks!

    Once the building work has started not very long. I would have thought around 4-6 weeks at the most to get the basic shell up. Then maybe a couple more weeks to sort out the interior.

    Ours is a 4 bed detached with detached garage and that is also 15 weeks from start to completion.

    As someone with building firm background it would take, assuming foundations in, 4 - 6 months.
