Most whole-home projects take four to five months from the first call to delivery in Europe. Design takes about two weeks, production and consolidation two to four weeks after your final approval (depending on the project), and sea freight four to six weeks depending on the destination. The biggest variable is how quickly the design and materials are approved.
