Based on a documentary I watched last night it takes about a year to build a tiny home with minimal help. I wonder how quick it could be done if you planned ahead and got most of the materials in advance and had a reasonable amount of friend help. Hmm

I think this thinking is behind the still-hasn't-paid-off prefab movement.

That seems excessive, but I guess it depends on the amenities and zoning requirements. I've been around several year-round camp constructions (basically a small studio), and they can be done in 3 months with 3 guys, weekends only. Of course, that's with a plan, minimal wiring & plumbing, and materials.

Then there's this guy who secured supplies and then built his cabin single-handedly in a month. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... (It took over a year, but that was because the first few months, he was harvesting his own timber, and he left for the winter.) And it is also kind of a documentary, though he shot it himself.

I think a large part of the reason it takes people so long is they start having no building experience.
