My brother is a home builder and has similar frustrations. Customers wonder why their house can't be ready to move into within a few weeks to few months of signing the contract. These cable TV shows have totally distorted the timeline. Not only are there the issues mentioned above, but the trades are overloaded as the market has exploded; he mentioned a plumber hasn't shown on site in over a month (in spite of assurances he would). My brother finally had to find another subcontractor to complete the work. He said he was fortunate to find someone that was not too busy to work on it.

Excellent point on building permits mentioned earlier; that is something that never crossed my mind.
