Traditional home
A typical custom site-built home often requires about seven to twelve months because more work is sequenced outdoors among multiple trades.

Home comparison
Time to occupancy
Customers care about the date the home can be used, not only the days spent manufacturing components. A useful schedule includes design, approvals, purchasing, site work, installation, finishes, inspections, and utility connections.
How K&K approaches it
K&K’s approach to time to occupancy
The current single-home planning range is about four to five months because component preparation and site work can overlap.
Where the advantage comes from
The schedule improves because site and foundation work can proceed while wall, floor, and roof components are prepared. Openings, connections, and system routes are resolved before delivery, and K&K's installation team follows one assembly plan instead of starting with raw field framing.

Why the building types differ
How the alternatives approach the same issue
Manufactured / mobile home
A planning range of about three to six months includes ordering the home, preparing the property and foundation, delivery, setup, connections, and approvals.
Pod-style temporary prefab
A standard unit may be usable in about one to three months when the product, site, utilities, and local approval are already straightforward.
What this means for the owner
The practical project result
The current planning range for one house is about four to five months from project start through occupancy under ordinary assumptions. The customer sees a full-path schedule—design through final connections—not a factory lead time presented as a finished house.
Before choosing
What should the customer confirm?
Request a schedule that begins with design and approvals and ends with inspection and occupancy, with the critical dependencies identified.
