New construction in Mountain View typically follows a 10-phase sequence — feasibility, design, entitlements, plan check, permit issuance, sitework, foundation, framing/MEP, finishes, and final inspections. Local plan-check queues at City of Mountain View Community Development Department — Building Division and Mountain View-specific risk factors are the main schedule levers; we publish the city's phase-by-phase timeline rather than a generic month count.
