The question of when to begin construction on a villa depends on more technical and practical factors than one might think. When the climatic conditions of Çeşme and Alaçatı, tourism volume, and material lead times are taken into account, choosing the right start date directly impacts the project’s total duration and cost. Drawing on the experience we’ve gained from completing more than 11 villa projects since 2017, we at İmerek Yapı would like to share our observations on this topic.
Fall-Winter Season for Rough Construction
Extremely hot summer months are not ideal for concrete pouring and curing; high temperatures make concrete curing more difficult. Rough construction projects that begin between early fall and winter offer the advantage of progressing without being hindered by weather conditions or the region’s heavy tourist traffic.
The Challenges of Construction During the Summer Months
Çeşme and Alaçatı become bustling tourist destinations during the summer months; logistics for materials and labor can become more challenging during this period. Therefore, if possible, completing the rough construction before summer and continuing the finishing work toward the fall provides a more predictable schedule.
Starting the Project and Permitting Process Early
Regardless of when construction actually begins, project and permit Starting the process as early as possible will allow you to begin excavation during your desired timeframe. Although the permitting process takes an average of 30 days, the planning phase leading up to it can take months.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best season to start building a villa?
The fall-winter season is advantageous for rough construction, as it allows for avoiding extreme heat and proceeding outside of the peak tourist season.
Can't construction begin during the summer months?
It is possible to get started, but logistics for materials and labor may be more challenging due to the high volume of tourists.
When should I start the project and permitting process?
As early as possible; since the design phase can take months, advance planning is necessary to be able to start excavation during the desired time frame.
Why is temperature important for concrete pouring?
Extreme heat makes concrete curing difficult; therefore, very hot summer months are not ideal for concrete pouring.
