Building a House in the Wilderness TIMELINE
WHY? Standardised, optimised solutions are quick, whereas tailor made solutions require more human resources and time.
ODYL example plot location and state before and after
Most important generic factors that influence BUILDING TIMELINE
Plot initial situation
Many X-factor location plots are in natural environments: trees, bushes and several land height differences.
Regulations
Stunning locations can have restrictions for land usage or require approval from local governments and/or environmental agencies.
Plot access
Many X-factor location plots have no existing necessary access for building installation.
ODYL Experience
Which details take the most TIME?
Terraces and stairs
Terraces and stairs add considerable amount of time to the building process, especially when the plot has height differences.
Roads and lots
Planning and building different roads, pathways and lots takes time in the pre-building phase for access and post-building phase for fixes and preparation for landscaping.
Landscaping
Landscaping takes longer when the ground is newly created and would require cleaning, seeding, planting (in our case also bringing tons of ground stones and mulch.
Extra details
Non-standardised extras from extra lights to a hot-tub bar require extra planning, projecting and building time.
"Difficult" access
Differences in plot heights and distance from access road mean materials and tools need to be moved up and down, back and forth which takes time if there is no direct road access.
DIY from scratch
Any DIY project (e.g. the GYM in our case) take planning, projecting and building time.
