Time it takes to frame in 1000 Sqf basement

Hi there,
Looking for the average TIME (not cost) it would take for one contractor to frame in a 1000 sq foot basement with one bedroom and bath - the rest open concept.
We were quoted 5-7 days. But contractor friends that live outside of our area say it should only take 3.
We have no idea on what to expect. Any nice advice is appreciated!

3 to 4 days tops. 3 people working on it.

I would suggest you consider all the factors. Is the floor level? are there object to work around? Are you close to the contractor or does he/she have to travel a distance? In my experience, no two basements are the same and the time is based on ease of access, everything being reasonably good shape, no obstacles (heating, wires, plumbing, etc.) to work around or have moved, and an open area to work. The job should be based on the quality and general workmanship. If time is a factor, go with the cheapest, but don't expect the best results.
