I know a guy in Maryland, outside of DC, who lived in a mobile home while he and his family built their house. Took five years. In the end, completely paid off, and done 100% correct. No union labor involved! House will last hundreds of years. One of the best houses I've ever seen. Dual use fireplaces throughout.

Three years seems an awful long time to wait for a house to be built IMO but I guess they are very lucky they won so they can finally finish the house (what their plan is) and perhaps get some help to build it.
