was wondering if anyone knew the general time frame for building something like an anshar from scratch. don't think i'm taking too long with this build but i can't say i'm not getting paranoid about it since it's taken me about 2 and a half months so far and i'm still a couple days away from putting the ship together (obelisk then anshar, did not use a reactor farm for the advanced components).

to me at least, it seems like it's taking a little too long, but that may also be due to this being my first time doing something like this. info much appreciated

A lot depends on how many production slots you have. Realistic if you have 11 production slots plus all materials and blueprints:

2 weeks to build the capital components
2 weeks to build the Obelisk and advanced capital components (overlap)
1 month to build the Anshar

Add some time to assemble the materials and 2.5 months is pretty reasonable. You can do it faster in a bonused facility.

If you're building it as a milestone in your Eve career, that's great. If you're building it for profit you'll likely be disappointed.

I budget about about two months per JF, give or take. They're a pain in the ass.

If the profit margin on a big ticket item like Anshar is so poor, with long build times, who builds these and why?

You can get one built in about 5 weeks from scratch easily enough

you have to build the tech 2 components to make any kind of profit, but even then you're only getting about a 10% return.

there is a post in GD about using thukker assembly arrays which give a -10% material cost but can only be used in lowsec, and are getting removed in an upcoming patch.

also seems like a decent way for null alliances to turn all their raw materials from the rorquals and moongoo ops into something they can sell.

The Thukker Component Assembly Array provides a 15% ME and 25% TE bonus for standard and advanced capital ship components. That level of bonus means it's unlikely to be profitable to make them anywhere else.

The new Thukker rigs will provide a reduced bonus 7.03% - still enough to shut out highsec manufacturers but nullsec ECs will get a 4.2% bonus which may be enough to compete.

I used to build them, but the market crashed with the Thukker Component Assembly Array, then later bonuses to building in EC in lowsec & nulsec, that building in hisec was no longer competitive.

Hence I have some 200+ Charon BPC Blink

big items are attractive builds because they don't need much micromanaging.
