How long does a custom build take?
Quick answer
A custom build averages three weeks from audit to live. That covers discovery and planning, then the build, then delivery and training. It is an average across builds, not a promise for yours: your own timeline is agreed in the scope, after the full workflow audit and architecture.
The three weeks start at the audit, the paid first stage, and end when the tool is live in your team's hands. Your free AI audit comes before that and takes thirty minutes.
Inside those three weeks:
- Discovery and planning. The full workflow audit and architecture: we map the work, rank it, and agree the scope before we build.
- The build. You review the interface before it is finished, then we walk your team through the working tool end to end.
- Delivery and training. It goes live, and the people who use it are trained.
No step has a fixed length. Your own timeline is agreed in the scope, rather than promised on the first call.
After launch there is no end date. Sharpen, the monthly plan, keeps the tool running and improving for as long as you keep it.
A pre-built tool is quicker, because there is no build. Horus, our link building tool, is the one with a stated start: buy today and you start using it the next day. Before subscribing, you can read its terms or see every tool on the pre-built tools page.
