Build planner: how long a project in Bosnia takes

Choose the type of project, the floor area and the planned start. You get a rough order of phases with months, plus a marker for the steps where it is worth being on site. It is meant especially for people living abroad who build or renovate in Bosnia.

How to use it

The plan is calculated from typical durations of each phase, and the construction phases scale with the floor area. Move the start to another month and watch the completion change. Permit times cannot be predicted exactly in advance, because they depend on the municipality and canton.

What the plan does not cover

It does not include costs, seasonal pauses or delays in material deliveries. In winter, shell work often slows down. For a concrete plan for your plot or flat, get in touch.

FAQ

How long does building a house in Bosnia take?

For a house of about 120 m², expect roughly one and a half to two years from idea to move-in, most of it for permits and shell construction. The exact time depends on the plot, the municipality and the contractors.

Do I have to be in Bosnia all the time?

No. We run most steps by video call and site reports. We recommend being present for material decisions and at handover.
