The Best Time of Year to Start Building a Home in Utah

When is the best time of year to start building a home in Utah? Whether you are planning a custom home, a new construction home, or a single-family design in Utah County or Southern Utah, timing your build can make all the difference. At Roots Builders, we help homeowners across Utah navigate the home building journey with smart planning and seasonally informed decisions.

Spring: The Popular Start

Spring is a great time to begin new home construction. As snow melts and weather conditions improve, the ground becomes easier to work with. Builders often get booked quickly during the spring, so early planning is key.

Summer: The Peak Season

Summer offers ideal conditions for most construction projects with long daylight hours and minimal rain delays. However, it is also peak season for home construction, which can increase construction costs and lead to tighter build timelines.

Fall: Ideal for Planning Ahead

While not as common for breaking ground, fall is perfect for prepping your construction project. It is a great time to lock in your floor plans, finalize home design choices, and submit for permits, ensuring you’re ready to go as soon as conditions allow.

Winter: Plan Indoors, Prep Smart

Winter months are often underutilized but valuable. While outdoor activity may slow, it is a smart time to meet with your custom home builder, choose interior finishes, and handle home financing. Roots Builders helps clients use this period to get ahead of spring builds.
