The Bible doesn't say.
"A lot of people say 120 years but I can find no scripture to back this up. All I can find is that after Noah was 500 years old he became the father of Shem, Ham & Japheth. - Genesis 5:32. Genesis 7:11 tells us that Noah was 600 years 2 months, & 17 days old when the flood came. This leads me to believe that 70 to 80 years is more accurate than 120 years."

Here's a survey of the flood account in Genesis:
Gen 6:7 -8 God, disgusted with man's wickedness, plans to wipe out all life on Earth.
Gen 6:14 - 16 God instructs Noah to build the Ark, giving dimensions and materials
Gen 7:1 God tells Noah and his family to enter the Ark.
** There's no indication of how long it took to build the Ark, as far as I'm aware.

I have no idea, "kitten," nor how two of every creature plus Noah's whole family fit in the ark, because I DO recall a description of how big it was, and it wasn't. Big, I mean. I guess it was a God thing.

If I' m not mistaken, it took him aproximatelly 6 years, 2 months and 8 days
but
I think you should better ask how many years it took him to collect the animals...

As far as I'm concerned it was a hundred years or so... At least that's what they've said on National Geographic... But I'm not sure... :/
