How long does it usually take on average to build a 12 story building, from the initial site preparation to completion? I ask because the city I work in there's such a building going up, and they started work on it about a year ago. Is that a long time for such a building, or is it about normal?

Depends a great deal on the complexity of the building. A two storey hospital could take much longer than a 20 storey simple structure office block.
If it's a very simple structure then it's quite slow progress but if it's a complicated structure with varying design elements, complicated services, high standard of finishes then it's not a long time.
If the client has made very specific or unusual requests this can seriosuly slow down construction.
Budget can play a part - if budget isn't so much of a problem then you can hire in several tower cranes, lots of plant and workers and get the job moving quickly.
Did the 12 months include site preparation as this can take a long time? The ground might need decontaminating, consolidating, there may be complex foundations.

Well Guy, I work in the steel construction industry. It really depends on the owners and how much money they want to throw at a project....One of the big tower hotels in Asia they were erecting steel at the rate of a floor a day by working 3 eight hours shifts. If you're working just days an average building should be ready to occupy in a year and a half
hope this helped

It relies upon on many variables like how great is the backside of the construction. A 14 tale construction with a 10 via 10 m base would be build swifter while in comparison with a company construction that's additionally a 14 tale construction yet has a one hundred via one hundred m base.

It depends on the capital funds available. The building can be finished in less time if you spend more on labor expenses.

Depends on the usage, the location of site, union crews or not, type of construction...... oh so many variables!
