How long does it take to max Town Hall 5, and what does it cost?
If your TH4 village is fully maxed, maxing Town Hall 5 takes (raw time, no discounts): 4.9 days of builder work, 22 hours in the laboratory. These queues run in parallel, and the longest one decides the finish. The Town Hall upgrade itself (6 hours, 150,000 Gold) is not included in these totals. Walls need 2.4 M gold or elixir on top.

The longest queue decides the finish: about 17.6 hours with Gold Pass and 6 builders. In practice work is never split perfectly between builders, so it can take longer.
