Hi @niel, Thanks for reaching out and welcome to Netlify’s Support Forums! I’ve increased the build timeout to 45 minutes. Could you try deploying again and let us know if you’re still running into issues? ---

Hi @Melvin could you increase the build time on [app.netlify.com/projects/wintech-racing](http://app.netlify.com/projects/wintech-racing) please? We’ll probably need at least 45 minutes if not an hour if that’s possible, many thanks john ---
